Text *not* attached to note ?

[gilles]

Hello.

Is there a way to add text to a staff, other than making it superscript or 
subscript
of a note?
The point is that I have a sequence of notes that is recurring, so that I use a 
variable
to store them, but I want to add a different text to (the begininning or end 
of) that 
sequence each time it appears, hence I can't add the text inside the variable 
definition.

Best regards,

Gilles
