Here's a snippet of code from a turnaround in one of my jazz lead sheets:You didn't say what version you were using.
r8_\markup "Last Time: repeat final 4 bars" a b c cis a' aes g~
The problem here is that my text is running into stems and beams and whatnot. I need to move it so it's farther beneath the staff. The manual, as I've often noticed, is a bit unhelpful in this case.
Putting the following before the markup will work in most versions *except* 2.1.15 through 2.1.20:
\property Voice.TextScript \override #'padding = #2.5
Of course change 2.5 to what you need. This affects both above and below.
