You can centre text above a bar line using a rehearsal mark; see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/bars#rehearsal-marks

As to the issue with the rest: it seems to me that lilypond is doing the right 
thing here: a rest _is_ just the rectangle: the line comes from a ledger line.  
Removing some of the lines from the score prevents this appearance from 
happening.

  Yes, thank you Hans. I did 


    \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-0.05


  This looks pretty good and it will do. Although I still feel as if the 
correct positioning (with a small horizontal line) will look more logical and 
elegant. 


  But I remain with my main issue:


  - How do I add text which is aligned with certain barlines? This is quite 
common for  percussion notation to indicate which line represents which (part 
of an) instrument. In my case: which part of a gong to strike (center, mid or 
edge).  

  Anyone got a clue where to start looking? I don't mind doing some research: 
just can't seem to find a starting point. Thank you and all the best,
  Gagi
