This is a good solution, but one drawback is the left and right bounds
of the text spanner aren't set to the column that holds the bar lines,
rather to the NoteColumn objects.  One consequence is that you
wouldn't get automatic alignment with bar lines, if that's what you
want.

Another solution is available on the LSR:
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=954.

Add this function:

textedMeasureBracket =
#(define-music-function
  (parser location str mus)
  (markup? ly:music?)
  #{
    \override Staff.MeasureCounter.stencil =
    #(lambda (grob) (test-stencil grob str))
    \startMeasureCount
    #mus
    \stopMeasureCount
  #}
  )

Use it like this:

twice = \markup { \italic "bis" }

{
  \textedMeasureBracket \twice { g'1 g'1 }
}


HTH,
