problem getting text in correct position

[chip]

I am trying to put the text "Free Time Intro" at the beginning of my 
song either below or above an empty measure. I can get it there, but I 
cannot get it positioned correctly. Here is the code I have tried -

\property Voice.TextScript \set #'padding = #0.0
   << { s1^\markup { "Free Time Intro" } } >>
Padding is close but I can't seem to move the text to the left at all, 
only up.
And I have also tried this -
		
\property Voice.TextScript \override #'extra-offset =#'(1 . -5.5)
\mark \markup {"Free Time Intro"}
\property Voice.TextScript \revert #'extra-offset
\property Score.skipBars = ##t R1*1

With this code no matter what numbers I plug in the text refuses to 
move, at all.

What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Chip
