Thanks for the link

As it turns out, I've almost solved (i.e., found hacks for) all my  
\mark-related problems on my own today -- decided it was too  
important (to the readability of the parts I need to generate for  
next week's rehearsal and performance), and so I dug in...

My current example file is attached below, for anyone who's  
interested -- once the pressure's off, and I can research the *real*  
effects of these hacks, I'll put together a full report.

Cheers,
Kieren.
