Something like

\new Staff
{ \tweak text \markup \vcenter \override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
                      \bold \center-column { "Foo" "Bar" }
  \tweak stencil #ly:text-interface::print
  \time 3/4 c' c' c' }

Note that for \time to take tweaks, its containing Staff context needs
to exist before \time is called, so this will not work without the \new
Staff or anything else before \time that would cause a Staff to exist.
