Text level with the staff

[Vivyan]

Hi

I'm transcribing music that has a lot of repetitions. To represent the music
I'm writing the music once and then writing " X amount of times" I want this
to appear on the right and level with the staff? 
How can I do this? So far the words are underneath?

Many thanks

[code]

\version "2.19.80"
\language "english"

\header {
  title = "XMAS_EVET"
  tagline = ""  % removed 
 
}

\score {
%melody 
<<
  \new Staff{
  \time 4/4
  \clef bass
  \set Staff.instrumentName = #"synth" 
  
    r1 % times rest 16 bars

    }
   >>
}

\markup {
  %  \hspace #1
    \column {
      \line { rest for X 16 }    
    }
    \hspace #1

}


[/code]
