Hi,
I have no experience in creating new contexts but maybe you can achieve what
you want just using the Lyrics context.
I just made this small snippet, not sure though if it's what you're looking for.
One thing I noticed is that markup in lyricmode seems to need something to be
attached to, be it note, rest or skip, even when using explicit durations.
I guess that could be a bug but I don't know how these things are supposed to
work internally.
test = \lyricmode
{
\markup { \italic "Olé" }2
\markup { \bold "Oléeeeeeeeee" }2
\markup { \column { "Olé" "Bla" } }1
}
<<
\new Staff = "s" \new Voice = "v" { c'1*1/2 s2 c'1 }
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "s" }
{
\set associatedVoice = "v"
\test
}
