What he wants is that the turn at the second beat is above the note from the 
first beat. In particular, compare the two lines in the following snippet:


\relative c' {
c4.(\p e8 g c d \setTextCresc e)\<
\once \override Script #'extra-offset = #'(2.5 . 0) a'2(\!\turn g4 f) \break
c,4.(\p e8 g c d \setTextCresc e)\<
<< {a'2(\!} {s4 s4\turn} >> g4 f) 
}

In the first one, the turn is really high up (above the a) but not at the 
second beat, while in the second line it is positioned correctly at the 
second beat, but way below the note it should belong to.

The solutino that I can think of is to use a hidden note instead of a skip...

Cheers,
Reinhold
