Bob,
The easiest way to do this is to specify the position of the rest by
specifying a pitch (a line or space) to align the rest to, and then
converting to a rest by using \rest.
% measure 16:
<<
{ d''2. \rest^\markup { \bold \large Fine } } \\
{ a,2. }
>> \bar "||"
There are other ways as well. See

Regards,
David

My score is coming along nicely. But I am not satisfied with the
positioning of the rests in the upper voice. Here is an example. The
placement of the dotted half rest here just looks too high to me. How
can I move it so that it is lower?
