Dear David,
In your case, the reason it didn't work was that you hadn't identified the
RehearsalMark correctly. If you look at the page for Mark-engraver it tells you:
Mark_engraver is part of contexts: Score
so unless you tell Lilypond to look in the Score context it isn't going to find
any objects named RehearsalMark.
>>Y-offset is documented as a property of RehearsalMark but doesn't seem
to really be so.
Y-offset is a user-settable property of Score.RehearsalMark - you could have
followed my second suggestion. I think the reason that it is reccomended to use
extra-offset is that extra-offset is by default set to #'(0 . 0) so that any
changes you make will be relative to the X- and Y- offset values that work most
of the time. If you decided that you wanted to adjust the default positions of
an object for the whole score, then I would suggest using these properties.
(Someone can correct me if I'm wrong!)
On another subject, I spent 20 minutes searching for why there is no padding
property for DynamicText before finding that the padding is controlled by the
DynamicLineSpanner . Could this be slightly more explicitly stated in the
documentation, maybe on the pages of the objects controlled by it?
Cheers,
Vivian.

That did the trick. Here is my code:
\once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t
\tempo 4 = 55 {
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -3)
\mark "acc."
\times 2/3 { e8 c8 a8 }
}
Y-offset is documented as a property of RehearsalMark but doesn't seem
to really be so.
Thanks for your help!
