What about this?

\version "2.10.0"

staffMarkup = \once \override TextScript #'Y-offset = #3

music = \relative
{
        \staffMarkup c'''1^\markup{"test"}
        \staffMarkup c,1^\markup{"test"}
        \staffMarkup f'1^\markup{"test"}
        \staffMarkup b,1^\markup{"test"}
}

\score
{
        \music
}

Best,
Kieren.
