With Sibelius, one can easily start and stop a staff mid-system (or measure) by changing that staff to an "invisible" one. Thus, the passage was engraved with two staves: a normal one for pitched notes, and a second, single line staff above for non-pitched notes. Instead of placing pitches on that line, I engraved pitches one line higher (this line does not show, of course) and used "invisible" noteheads; thus the "extended" stem. Circular noteheads were placed manually as symbols (e.g. articulations). My approach with Lilypond thus far has been similar, but I'm having difficulty suppressing the single-line staff mid-measure or -system: if I change the number of staff lines to zero, I get a whole host of warnings. Also, placing graphical symbols over blank stems to create circular noteheads is problematic, as one then triggers collision avoidance (which, as you say, one should be able to turn off). If I can find a way to create the notehead _and_ shift its position down and to the left on the stem (assuming down stems), then I'm 80% there.
