there is a nice little snippet to add text to a hairpin:

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=233 .

now it would be nice to move the text a little bit upwards to fit right into
the hairpin and to whiteout the hairpin for the length of the text.

the first part is quite easy (just override  "Y DOWN" with  "Y CENTER") -
but the other part is far beyond my Scheme-knowledge.

can anybody help?

thanks

I think all you have to do is include \whiteout - i.e. :
hairpinMolto = \hairpinWithCenteredText \markup \whiteout { \italic molto }

If that doesn't give enough white space, 
hairpinMolto = \hairpinWithCenteredText \markup \whiteout \pad-markup #0.5 { \italic molto }
should do the trick, I think, with a properly adjusted number for the 0.5.
