Not that I know.
BTW, here’s a quick-and-dirty way of adding a click track, in case you
might find it useful:

%%%%%%

addTicks =
#(define-music-function (m) (ly:music?)
   #{ << $m
         \new Devnull \with {
           \consists Drum_note_performer
           \consists Staff_performer
           \consists Dynamic_performer
           midiInstrument = #"woodblock"
         } \drummode {
           <>\ff \repeat unfold
           $(ly:moment-main-numerator
             (ly:moment-div
              (ly:music-length m)
              (ly:make-moment 1 4)))
           rb4 }>> #})

music = \relative  c' { c2 d e f g a b c }

\score {
  \new Staff \addTicks \music
  \layout {}
  \midi {}
}

%%%%
