(almost) all object's stencils are hijack-able in a few lines of Scheme.  If 
you don't want ample space, I'd go w/ a barline, as it'll result in the least # 
of hacks that you need to get it up and running.
You can control spacing between a barline and the objects after it via the 
space-alist property of the BarLine (or any non-musical grob).  Then, you'd 
just need to override the stencil & make sure to subtract 1 from the measure 
count after the barline.
