Hi Calvin,

Manually constructing these things in \markup can be a bit hacky, but also
sometimes the only option. If you need to use a particular construction
frequently you should look into making a function that does it for you. Here is
my attempt to reproduce what was in the attached image.

\relative {
  b4^\markup \center-column {
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.5) \center-column {
      \concat { "G" \raise #1 \super \flat }
          \draw-line #'(2.5 . 0)
        }
        \concat { "C" \lower #0.5 \super "7" }
  }
}
