Try this:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.4.6"
\layout { raggedright = ##t }
\relative c'' { <<
\new Staff { | a a a a
  ^\markup { \hspace #2 \center-align < \musicglyph #"scripts-ufermata"
  { \hspace #0.5 \musicglyph #"scripts-caesura" } > }
  | a a a a }
\new Staff { | b b b b
  ^\markup { \hspace #2 \center-align < \musicglyph #"scripts-ufermata"
  { \hspace #0.5 \musicglyph #"scripts-caesura" } > }
  | b b b b }
\new Staff { | c c c c
  ^\markup { \hspace #2 \center-align < \musicglyph #"scripts-ufermata"
  { \hspace #0.5 \musicglyph #"scripts-caesura" } > }

Subject: Caesura directly underneath fermata


I'm typesetting a choral work (I didn't write it myself) for SATB and the
composer in his manuscript has placed a fermata directly above a caesura
("railroad tracks") directly over a barline _in all four parts_.

In other words, it looks like this
     
             F
             C
S =====|=====|=====|=
       |     |     |
       |     F     |
       |     C     |
A =====|=====|=====|=
       |     |     |
       |     F     |
       |     C     |
T =====|=====|=====|=
       |     |     |
       |     F     |
       |     C     |
B =====|=====|=====|=

(In case that's not clear | = barline, F = fermata, C = caesura, = = staff)

In the manuscript, the fermata and caesura are directly on top of barline in
the ATB parts.

I've killed myself trying to get this to work.  Does anyone have any ideas
on how to do it?  I'm using Lilypond 2.4.5.

Many thanks!
