Just to add to this, the section of how to align Markups is here

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/writing-text

Scroll down to the section 'Aligning marks with various notation objects'.
This gives you more options.

While Xavier states drawbacks, if you use the above information along with
the LSR these drawbacks are no longer.

(print below the staff)

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=735

(print above and below - method 1)

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=736

(print above and below - method 2)

(simultaneous)

Have fun!
