Request for a stencil alignment helper

Is it possible to make a "stencil-wrapper" that will show the vertical centre of a stencil and have an extending line of variable length (which of course won't distort the spacing of the actual score)?

Hi Aaron, \tweak form is a little shorter, although you could bake this into a function if you needed to use this a lot: \version "2.22.0" "\\@" = #(define-music-function   (staff-position music)   (integer? ly:music?)   #{ \tweak staff-position #staff-position #music #}) \new DrumStaff
