\displayMusic
\new RhythmicStaff \with { \consists Grob_pq_engraver } {
  1 ~ 2 4
}
\addlyrics { hey __ you }

If you take a look at the definition of RhythmicStaff in
engraver-init.ly in comparison to the definition of Staff (they are
separate and independent), you'll find that RhythmicStaff is missing a
lot of material that actually would be needed for proper operation.

Sigh.

It would probably make some sense to try deriving it from Staff .
