Text scripts
In addition, it is possible to place arbitrary strings of text or markup
text (see Text markup) above or below notes by using a string:
c^"text".
By default, these indications do not influence the note spacing, but
if Voice.textNonEmpty is set to true the widths will be taken
into account. The identifier \fatText is defined in the standard
includes.
\relative c' { c4^"longtext" \fatText c4_"longlongtext" c4 }

Text scripts are created in form of TextScript grobs, in Voice context. Text markup describes how to change the font or access special symbols in text scripts.
