Lilypond snippet for a separate coda

Question

I'm hoping to Lilypond something not at all uncommon in pop sheet music but missing from the snippet repository and eluding my search phrases. It's basically an inline block of coda set apart from the bars preceding it. (My attempts at the code are not match for an uploaded visual example.)

I'm guessing the ingredients are 'ragged-right', some whitespace, and a separate score {} block for the coda music itself, but is there a way to end one system and start another without a line break? (Hard to think this hasn't been done before—and even more so to imagine it couldn't be done.)

Update (March 8, 2012): I've gotten close to what I want, with the following:

\stopStaff s1 \startStaff \bar ""
\mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.coda" }

\override Score.Clef #'space-alist = #'(
    (cue-clef extra-space . 2.0)
    (staff-bar extra-space . 0.0)
    (key-cancellation minimum-space . 3.5)
    (key-signature minimum-space . 3.5)
    (time-signature minimum-space . 4.2)
    (first-note minimum-fixed-space . 5.0)
    (next-note extra-space . 1.0)
    (right-edge extra-space . 0.5)
)

\override Staff.Clef #'full-size-change = ##t
\set Staff.forceClef = ##t
\clef "treble_8"
\key \default

The only thing missing from the coda is the systemStartBracket. Can anyone figure out how to insert one in the middle of a system?

Thanks.

I'd try a different approach: use a simultaneous staff as described in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves#ossia-staves and vertically align it to the terminated staff.
