The box could be drawn with Postscript. Here's an example of drawing large
square brackets with Postscript. Easily modifiable to draw a box:

 

\version "2.12.1"

 

#(define lbracket "0.25 setlinewidth 

                0 setlinejoin 

                0 setlinecap 

                0.5 -2 moveto

                -2 0 rlineto

                0 8.8 rlineto 

                2 0 rlineto 

                stroke")

#(define rbracket "0.25 setlinewidth 

                0 setlinejoin 

                0 setlinecap 

                0.5 -2 moveto

                2 0 rlineto

                0 8.8 rlineto 

                -2 0 rlineto 

                stroke")

 

\relative c' {

                c4-\markup { \postscript #lbracket } c c c-\markup {
\postscript #rbracket }

}

Subject: boxed measures

 

Dear community,
I would like to do something like You can see in the attached image.
I don't mean the feathered beams (I know how this can be done) but the boxed
bars, followed by the dotted lines.
I have no idea how to do this in Lilypond.
A hint would be great!
Thanks
Stefan
