For the markup solution, I would try \concat as described in the manual:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/formatting-text#selecting-font-and-font-size
\markup{ \concat{ "A" "B" "C" } }
results in ABC (and not A B C with spaces).
So, the following line should do it (even though a bit lengthy for just
4 characters):
\markup{ C\super{\concat { "7" \flat "5" } } }
