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!
