\concat should do what you want: something like:

\markup { \concat { "La " \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark" } }

  Subject: Dynamics and articulation in lyrics


  I'm setting a song with multiple stanzas, in which I would like to include 
dynamics and articulations (breathing, phrasing) within the text.  After much 
hunting around the docs and snippets, I've got this far:


    /version "2.19.2"
    ...
    secondverse = \lyricmode {
        \set stanza = #"2."
        \markup { \dynamic mf } Re -- mem -- ber me, a -- lace,
        \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark" }
        And lat all rig -- our pass
        \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark" }
        That I may prove in you some love
        \markup { \musicglyph #"ties.lyric.default" }
        To my joy and so -- lace
        True love to move I most be -- hove
        \markup { \dynamic p } Re -- mem -- ber me, a -- lace.
    }


  but the dynamics and articulations are taking space in the lyric underlay as 
if they were syllables in their own right.

  How should I solve this?

  As a subsidiary question: Verses 4 & 5 of this song are set beneath the score 
as markup columns.  I'd like to do something similar in those verse also.
