Why not use an established notation practice, which is supported by LilyPond?

Quoting aliteralmind <aliteralmind-lilyp...@yahoo.com>:
I have repetitive notes:
c8 c c c c c c c c c c c |
This type of repetition is found throughout my piece. I'm trying to hide the
second-through-fourth beats of notes, and have a "..." in its place, IN the
staff. No matter how much I \raise the markup, it never enters the staff.
How can I force this collision?
Here is an image describing what I want and am actually getting (I also
can't quite position the lyrics and "repeat throught" text as tightly as I
want):

And following is the LY code that created the bottom version.
Thank you for helping.

%s1 is a placeholder, until soloWords is assigned to it
\new Lyrics = "secondaryLyrics" { s1 }

\context Lyrics = mainLyrics \lyricsto vMain \mainWords
\context Lyrics = secondaryLyrics \lyricsto vSecondary
\secondaryWords
>>
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
