Why not use \mark "Some text"? It should work both before the first note and at the final bar line.

Hello list, hello James,

Two questions:
1. How do you add text above the time signature (or somewhere close)? I've seen the a4^"This is text" syntax, but I'd like to add text before the first note. (The music I'm looking at has things like "Moderately slow", "slow gospel," "not too slowly" written there.)
Here I send You two possibilities:
1. You can do it like You explained above and putting the following line before the note:
\once\override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(-6.5 . 8)
(where the number left of the dot shifts horizontally and the number right of the dot shifts vertically)
2. You can put a new line into the header section:
piece = "slow gospel"
2. How do you add text at the end of a part ("D.C. al coda")? Probably the same question as #1.
With the first possibility, yes. :)
Best Regards Roland
PS: In the hope, You are using a version >= 2.0.0, otherwise the syntax could be a little bit different.
