Spanner - markup collision

[Palmer, Ralph]

Greetings -

I'm running LilyPond 2.11.23 under Windows XP Pro, SP2.

I'm having a problem with a markup vs. a TextSpanner. In the snippet,
the markup:
(One stand opt.8va)
is above the spanner if I do not move the markup. I'd like to have the
markup appear below the spanner. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? Perhaps the correct #'extra-offset command or qualifier for
the TextSpanner?

Thanks for your help.
