Hello, I have a case where I'm putting together something will be
mostly chordnames and lyrics with a few music expression hints needed
here and there.
I've been able to get most of what I want using \markup. The only
issue I've come across is that the inserted markup seems to also add
to the lyric duration and impacts the bar check. I've also found that
the previous lyric duration impacts the music expression note
duration. So clearly the expression is not an independent piece.
I've been able to work around this by accounting for the extra
duration in the total for the measure. But is there a way to insert an
expression that is only a hint and note actually part of the measure?
Also is there a way to move the markup above the lyrics and would that
take it out of the duration? Attached below is some sample code and
the resulting output.

It's a bit hard to guess what output you would like to see. One possible
answer is to add it as an ossia stave, see
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves#ossia-staves
Another possibility would be to combine the music expression with a
lyric syllable:
myLyrics = ...
... some \markup \column { lyrics \score {....} } | ...
