Here's two examples from one of my pieces: \property Voice.TextScript \override #'extra-offset = #'(-6.0 . -3.0) \time 4/4 c'\pp^\fermata^#"arco" ais'\mp^\fermata r2 | \property Voice.TextScript \revert #'extra-offset \property Voice.Script \override #'padding = #1.5 r2. | r4 d'(\cr e8 ~ )e8^\fermata\rc\mp | \property Voice.Script \revert #'padding They're not too easy to understand -- I like to keep my pieces in a very compact format -- but they're better than nothing. The first example moves the "arco" string. The second example increases the padding (the distance between it and other symbols) of the fermata.
