I’m not entirely sure I follow (I’ve only been using this since February, which also explains the embarrassing file structure).

See attached.  I took out the \halign and added

\once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'(4 . 0)

The only drawback with this method is that extra-offset moves things blindly without regard for collisions with other objects, so it could be an annoyance using it before other details of the layout are fixed.

You can read more about it here:

Hope this helps,

David
