First off, Eluze's solution is brilliant. #'line-positions never crossed my
mind.
Here are the annotations as requested.
right = \relative c'' {
\global
c4 d e f | R1 | R1 | c4 f g f
% \stopStaff and \startStaff are covered in the docs:
%
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves#staff-symbol
% The staff symbol has to be stopped and restarted to be able to change
the line count.
\stopStaff
% This adjusts the extent of the barline.
% See what happens if you remove it.
\once \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2)
% This sets the staff to have only one line.
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
% This forces all the notes to the middle line.
% See http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=778
\set squashedPosition = #0
% x note heads
\xNotesOn
\startStaff
c4 c4 c4 c4 | c4 c4 c4 c4 | c4 c4 c4 c4
\stopStaff
% Return the line count to normal.
\revert Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count
% And stop squashing the pitches.
\unset squashedPosition
% And turn off the note heads.
\xNotesOff
\startStaff
c4 d4 e4 f4 | g4 r4 r2
}
Regards,
Nathan
