Text markup locations and background

[W. C.]

I wanted to put a small piece of text ("ten") right beneath a note.  However, I 
needed the text to appear over the staff, but \translate seems to stop as soon 
as the text begins to cover the staff.  Is there any way to do this?

Also, is there any way to set the background filling of text, so that the text 
has a solid white background instead of transparent?

Thanks so much!
