Placing spoken lyrics in a measure without staff lines

[Christopher_Robinson]

How can I create a measure with no staff lines then place some spoken text into the measure?

In Dorico 6, you can do cutaways:

Then add the text as a text item, turn off collision avoidance via the bottom panel, and drag it into place.

Thanks for your response, Dan. I conclude that I need to upgrade to Dorico 6 to achieve my goal.
