Yes. Maybe something like this?

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
tenu =
  -\tweak stencil #ly:text-interface::print
  -\tweak text
      \markup
        \override #'(baseline-skip . 1.375)
        \center-column {
          \parenthesize \musicglyph #"scripts.sforzato"
          \fontsize #1.1 \musicglyph #"scripts.tenuto"
        }
  -\tenuto

{
  c'' d''-\tenu e''
}
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Adjust parameters, spacing, etc., as you see fit.

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
