The best solution is probably to let Lilypond 
compensate for the width of the text itself.
Simply say \fatText somewhere before the 
note with the text script. If you don't want
all subsequent text scripts to take space,
you can reset to the default with the command
\emptyText.
These commands are macros that set a property, 
if you want to find out exactly what they do
and what other macros are available, take a look
at the file ly/property.ly (called ly/property-init.ly
in version 1.5.x).
