FWIW, I have found that you can chain multiple text grobs onto a note.
Where text has "bashed" into a note or marking, I've just added an empty
text string to the note with the text label. This forces a blank line
under the text, and "pushes" it up a bit.

Example:

        c^"Molto Allegretto :-)"^""

It's a kludge, I know, and not terribly "structured", but every time I
think like that  I remind myself how much fun writing music out in
longhand can be, and all of a sudden it seems like not so much of a kludge
after all :-)
