OK, here's a shorter version of the problem and attempted solutions. In the 
following, there are _two_ response marks: the one above the staff (produced as 
a rehearsal mark) is in the desired position horizontally, but too high; the 
one following the text (by inclusion in the lyrics) is in the desired position 
vertically, but too far to the left.

\version "2.16"
\header { tagline = ##f }
\layout {
  \context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" }
  \context { \Lyrics \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #left }
  ragged-last = ##f
}
responsum = \markup{ \bold \fontsize #-2 "℟." }
\score { 
  \new Staff << \clef treble \new Voice = "sopranos" \relative f { \cadenzaOn 
a'1 b4 a \bar "|" g2 a \bar "||" \mark \markup{ \responsum } }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranos" { \set stanza = "1." "This is just one" 
verse of ma -- \markup{ ny. \responsum } }
  >>
}

Adding e.g. \hspace #8 before the lyric \responsum does not move it much to the 
right; mostly it just makes the rest of the line bunch up more.
Adding e.g. \tweak #'Y-offset #-8 before \mark has no visible effect whatsoever.

So can anyone suggest a way either:
(a) to move the mark down; or
(b) to move the lyric "℟." to somewhere near the righthand end; or
(c) to place a symbol in the desired position (under or just before the double 
bar, level with the lyrics) by some other method entirely?

Best wishes,
Matthew
