You should definitely use R1^\markup{...}
One method to get the horizontal size the way you want it
is to manually specify the width, such as
\override MultiMeasureRest #'minimum-length = #10
I couldn't find any method to let LilyPond figure out the width
automatically.

Hello all,
I am typesetting a horn part from a piano concerto, and I'm having
difficulty with the "Cadenza" rests in the piece. What I would like
is a rest in the staff—it can be a 4-beat rest, like r1, a full-
measure rest, like R1, or a long multi-measure rest, with the
horizontal bar; I don't really care which kind. Above that, center-
aligned, should be a fermata, and aligned above that, the word
"Cadenza".
I haven't found any way to get an acceptable result. I'm using
LilyPond 2.10.15. If I use r1^\markup{...}, I get the text fine, but
the rest is not center-aligned in the measure. If I use R1^\markup
{...}, the measure is condensed to just the horizontal size of the
rest, and the text sticks out of the measure. (Using \fatText had no
effect on this.) Can anyone tell me how to get the output I
described above? Thanks!
