Unfortunately it doesn't work.  In lilypond, \strut "Create a box of 
the same height as
the space in the current font".

Hmm... is there an easy way to print an invisible letter?  ie something 
like
c'4^\markup{ foo \hideLetter g }

I know how I could make an entire textscript invisible, but I don't 
know how to
make a single invisible letter.
