The reason this happens is that TextScript grobs are outside-staff objects. You can change this, and get the result you want like so: \once \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f \once \override TextScript.Y-offset = #-2 Note that Y-offset is reckoned from the middle line of the staff, A value of 0 would have your arrow directly atop this line. Hope this helps, David P.S. A less satisfactory solution would be to override extra-offset. But then any layout changes could require adjustment.
