I put all my time signatures and skips for measures and my rehearsal 
marks and bar lines and repeats, etc. in a global macro in the 
xyznotes.ly file and then put \global in each \score block.  In the 
flute trio example the \global would go just before the  "\context 
StaffGroup <<".

for example:

global = \notes{ \time 6/8 s8*6*24 \box \mark "A"
   \repeat volta 2 { \time 3/4 s4*3*16 }
}

This requires \RemoveEmptyStaffContext in the paper section.
