Hi Werner, Andrew, Aaron,
Yes, my intended use case is indeed lyrics, editorial footers and
informational taglines. In the case of the attached .png, I'm using it
to indicate which kana get stressed and, by omission, which kana to
glide over. Pardon my poor editorial judgement: this is a WIP.
Quickly checking just now indicates that emphasis points came into use
in Japanese texts during the Meiji era.
Aaron's solution works for me, so I'm rolling with that. Thank you all
for your replies.
I'm having some issues with tied lyrics when there is \markup
involved—\undertie might prove helpful—but that's a topic for another
thread.

Yes, but I can exactly see that one of the few places
Japanese/Chinese emphasis dots may be used is in lyrics, which I
guess is the OP's intent.
Also having a (minor) Sinology background, I've never seen emphasis
dots in scores from Taiwan, including music using the jiǎnpǔ notation.
I guess we have to wait for more details before discussing this
further...
