There are many ways of accomplishing the thing you describe.

Here’s one way of doing that:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.80"
\language "english"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \omit Stem
    \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
    \remove "Clef_engraver"
  }
}

stuff = {
  \cadenzaOn
  \tweak NoteHead.X-extent #'(-3 . -1) g'4
  \tweak NoteHead.X-extent #'(-1.75 . 2) f' g' c''1 <a' bf'>4
  \tweak NoteHead.X-extent #'(1 . 2.5) a' f'1
}

\score { \stuff }
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
