You could try starting with something like
% Blues feel (♫ = ♩ ♪)
\new Staff {
\tempo \markup { Blues feel
\concat { (
\score {
\new RhythmicStaff
\with { \override StaffSymbol.line-count = 0
\omit TimeSignature }
{ c8 c8 \stopStaff s4-\markup = \startStaff
\tuplet 3/2 { c4 c8 } }
\layout { indent = 0
}
} ) } }
c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8 }
and then get spacing and scaling under control.
