http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3164

add a function to put bar lines, repeat signs, etc. inside a text markup

see the up-to-now discussion in  
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Repeat-signs-bar-lines-in-markup-td140533.html

summary: although it is possible to create such markups with a \markup  
\score {…} construction, like

mySign = \markup \score {
   \new Staff \with { fontSize = #-6 }
   { \bar ".|:" }
   \layout {
     indent = 0
     \context {
       \Staff
       \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -6)
       \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -6)
       \override StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f
       \remove Clef_engraver
       \remove Key_engraver
       \remove Time_signature_engraver
     }
   }
}
\markup \line {
    { Here is a
       \raise #1.75
       \mySign
       followed by some text.
   }
}

but this is not scalable.

Thomas Morley has proposed a markup-command that would achieve this (see  
the link above)

the request now is to incorporate this or a more elaborated function (also  
treating dashed, dotted, etc bar lines) into the LilyPond source.

David Kastrup also proposes: "Maybe \markup \score ... should be using a  
layout definition taking into account current sizes and/or settings?"
