One way around is to draw a box using \markup and tweak the dimensions
manually as outlined below.  A better solution would be to define a
music-function drawing the box based on the dimensions of the music fed
to it.


\relative c'' {
  \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
  \override Beam #'transparent = ##t

  b16[-\markup {
    \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0)
    \box
    \with-dimensions #'(-2 . 30) #'(-2 . 7)
    \null}
  a b c a b b a g a b a]

}
