Read "9.2 The \override command" in the manual with all subsections
to learn how to find the relevant information.

Kris and Mats,

thanks for your answers, I think I understand now.

Mats, is there a list somewhere of objects that can be overridden? In the
manual some (but I'm sure not all) are mentioned but only in examples. It
certainly would be helpfull to have such a list (eg. Staff.TimeSignature,
Score.skipBars, TextScript, Score.BarNumber).

thanks,

Hans.

I don't think you understood Han-Wen's answer. Everything will work
fine if you do
\override MultiMeasureRestText #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 2.0)
or (preferably)
\override MultiMeasureRestText #'padding = #2.0

As you can read in section 8.2.1, texts attached to multi
measure rests are handled by MultiMeasureRestText layout
objects in contrast to texts attached to normal notes, which
are handled by TextScript layout objects.

The comment on using a skip note are only relevant if you want
to place something at the beginning of the bar instead of in
the middle (which is where the multimeasure rest is placed).

Since the manual (section 8.2.1, page 173) mentions the need to use

   s1*0^\markup {whatever }
   R1*4

instead of

   R1*4^\markup

to control markup alignment on a multirest, I figured it was not an
unknown bug.  But it sounds like something I should submit, though, so
I'll send it.  Sorry about any confusion.
