markup at beginning of Multimeasure rest

[Paul Scott]

2.11.27

I'm thinking Han-Wen gave a further answer to this recently but I 
haven't found it yet.

Manual section 8.2.1 says

If you want to have text on the left end of a multi-measure rest, attach 
the text to a zero-length skip note, i.e.,

s1*0^"Allegro"
R1*4

The following code should be an example of that but I can't get the text off 
the center.:

\include "english.ly"
\relative c'' {
 \set Score.skipBars = ##t
 \override Score.MultiMeasureRest   #'expand-limit = #1
 \time 2/4
 r4 
 << 
   { b4 ~ b2 c4 } \\ 
   \set hairpinToBarline = ##f 
   { s16 s8.\> s2 s4\! } 
 >> 
 e\f %112
 s2*0^\markup{ \left-align{ "Poco meno" } } R2*5 %117
 R2*2
}


TIA for any ideas.
