many thanks for the tip!

However, it turns out that this is not enough to circumvent the "stacking" 
problem - but something like this works beautifully with Lilypond 2.16.1:

\override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-spacing-width = #'(-1 . 1) 
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #1.5
...
\mark \default 
\grace s1
\tempo "Moderato" 4 = 120

I also needed the "extra-spacing-width", the "padding" and (curiously) the 
"\grace s1" - I found the latter in an older thread of this list. I have 
attached screenshots with and without the additional lines before \tempo. But 
is this actually the "approved way" of getting my result?

Warm regards,
 Stefan
