Thank you, Aaron. I'm absolutely delighted to know how to do this now
as it occurs in several of my earlier scores that I'm re-engraving with
Lilypond.

What you are looking for, however, can be done with
horizontal/analysis brackets:

-\tweak layer 0
-\tweak direction #UP
-\tweak bracket-flare #'(0 . 0)

-\tweak HorizontalBracketText.text

Oh, and if you need the brackets to align to the measures and not
notes, then the Measure_spanner_engraver is what you probably want.
