fermatas above notes

[Michael Vanier]

Hi,

In the following lilypond file:

% Begin file.
\include "english.ly"

melody = \notes \relative c''' {
        \key c \major;
        d4 g4 b4 d4\fermata | 
        r4^"a lot of unnecessary text" d4 c4 b4 |
}


\score {
    \simultaneous  {
        \context Staff = top < 
            \time 4/4; 
            \clef treble;
            \melody
        >
    }

    \paper {
        indent = 0.0;
        linewidth = 15.0\cm;
    }
}
% End file.

How do I:

1) force the fermata to be above the high d note?  It's placed below it by
   default.

2) force the words "a lot of unnecessary text" to be above all the notes?
   Currently it collides with the ledger lines.

Thanks,

Mike
