There's no need for trial and error. If you want the text exactly
centered with the music, then you can use

\markup {
 {
   \general-align #Y #CENTER foo
   \general-align #Y #CENTER \snip
 }
}

which sets the alignment point of both the text and the \snip
on the vertical of the respective markup. What my previous suggestion 
does is to align the baseline of the text with the
center of \snip, which explains why the text ended up slightly too 
high, in your opinion.
