Hi Marco,

Perhaps a TextSpanner would be a better choice for this. Does something
like the below do what you want?

{
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup \lower #1 "fill"
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = \markup \draw-dashed-line 
#'(0 . -1)
  \override TextSpanner.to-barline = ##t
  c'4\startTextSpan c' c' c'
  c'\stopTextSpan
}
