This is driving me nuts.  Is it possible to get a fermata closer to the 
stave than markup?  I've tried over-riding Script.outside-staff-priority, 
TextScript.outside-staff-priority and various horizontal and vertical 
padding values, but the fermata always goes above the text for me.

MNWE:

{
  b'1^ \fermata ^\markup {"Some text"} \bar "|."
}

Hello,

I believe this works:

\version "2.19.80"

{
  \override Script.outside-staff-priority = #1 % allows Script under TextScript
  \override Script.outside-staff-padding = #0 % removes the extra padding
  b'1^ \fermata ^\markup {"Some text"} \bar "|."
}
