(adjust -4 until you get the mark where you want.)

Looking at your code again, you could also try replacing RehearsalMark with Score.RehearsalMark I've never used Y-offset to move things about, but perhaps it works too.

That did the trick.  Here is my code:

\once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t
\tempo 4 = 55 {
        \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -3)
        \mark "acc."
        \times 2/3 { e8 c8 a8 }
}

Y-offset is documented as a property of RehearsalMark but doesn't seem to really be so.

Thanks for your help!

Subject: Lowering a \mark

Still working on my CD case insert...

I have the text "acc." above my PianoStaff where the tempo is increased.
  I also have a hidden tempo change for the MIDI file.

My staves are quite close together on my PDF, because I only have the
height of a CD case to fit everything in.  The "acc." mark is just below
the staff above where it is place, so it looks like it's associated with
the upper staff and not the one below it.

But adjusting Y-offset for the RehearsalMark doesn't have any effect.
I've tried many different values.

I'm using Lilypond 2.11.18.

Here is the source in question:

    \once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t
    \tempo 4 = 55 {
        \override RehearsalMark #'Y-offset = #-2
        \mark "acc."
        \times 2/3 { e8 c8 a8 }
    }

Thanks for your help!

I've been printed CD case inserts on my inkjet printer, but once I am
able to put the score on the inner pages, I expect to have a commercial
printer print me a large number of them.  I've been waiting just for
this before doing so.
