that is what graham was suggesting. try the following snippet. all of  
this information can be found in the NM, section 1.8.1.4 (Text Marks),  
redirected from section1.2.5.4 (Rehearsal Marks) with the reference  
"Common Tweaks". From there you can access the internal properties of  
RehearsalMark, which shows you the property #'direction, taking the  
values #UP, #CENTER or #DOWN.

<<<<
dsalf = {
	\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = #begin-of- 
line-invisible
        \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
        %% THIS IS THE PROPERTY GRAHAM MENTIONED:
        \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'  direction = #DOWN
        \mark "D.S. al Fine"
}

\relative c'{
        c d e f
        \bar "||"
        \mark "Fine"
        g a h c
        \bar "|."
        \dsalf
}
