Hm, I thought I finally had the solution, based on ideas from an
earlier post by you and the one by Trevor:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\new Staff \relative {
<<
{
\override Staff.NoteColumn.X-offset = 10
c''2 c
}
\new Voice {
<>^\markup " A pretty long text that should extend the measure "
}
>>
% uncomment to make things break ...
%{
<<
{
c8 c c c c2
}
\new Voice {
<>^\markup " A pretty long text that should extend the measure "
}
>>
%}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
This works perfectly for one measure (and is totally agnostic of what
happens in the "music" voice), but as soon as you add (uncomment) the
second measure, things overlap again. Inserting \textLengthOn again
makes the markup push notes around. So I'm still not moving forward
here ...
I've not been following this thread closely, so this comment may be
totally irrelevant, but does this help at all?

It would suggest:
{
<<
\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
"A"4 " pretty long text that should extend the "4*2 "measure"4
"A"4 " pretty long text that should extend the "4*2 "measure"4
}
\new Staff \relative {
c''2 c
c8 c c c c2
}
>>
}
\paper {
ragged-right = ##t
}
You could break up the text in other ways, of course.
