If you use the stable version and want the centered rest given by R instead of the left adjusted one given by r, you could attach the text to a spacing rest in a parallel line of music: <R2. s2.^"My text">
I don't understand what you do with the empty bars, in 17/8, you should get a two measure rest using R8*34 or R8*17 R8*17, I just tried it myself.
I must admit I've never heard about a piece in 17/8, but I once played a piece in alternating 11/8 and 13/8 by some Russian composer who apparantly wrote it as a wedding march for his own wedding. I wonder how he and his bride manage to walk in rhythm. ;-)

Just about your last question : You can't have markup on 'R', but you cant on 'r'
If you use lilypond 1.7.x, you may use :
\once \property Voice.MultiMeasureRestNumber \override #'text = #'(roman "my markup")
before the 'R' you want to mark...

Thanks, I am stupid not to have used the search, I just went and looked in the reference manual and overlooked it.
Now I have other questions, I get my time signature printed at the end of this first line, how can I force this one to be on the next line ? I also have a really funny thing with whole-measure rests: my score is in \time 17/8 and it starts with two empty measures. To get this I seem to need R8*17 R8*17 R8*17 three times, for some reason. Probably I did not understand the meaning of the R symbol. And last question, I do not seem to be able to put text on top of the resting measures with ^"160bpm" like R8*17^"160bpm" or so. I need to put it on the first note, which makes the tempo appear only at the third measure. Again I suspect I am doing it wrong.
