What if you changed text-event to...
Carl, thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't have the desired effect - space does appear to one side of the text, but the rehearsal mark does not fall down into place (I guess the hspace in the markup is still occupying that space and pushing away other elements). Moreover the rest is displaced to one side, no longer centered in the bar. See [1] for an image of the output.
*does* yield the desired result, as seen in [2]. Of course, I could tune the numbers manually for each instance of this narration element in the score - but I'd prefer to compute them programmatically, based on the width of the markup.
