Re: Fermata on final double bar

[Mats Bengtsson]

One possible trick is to move the mark engraver from the score level to each
stave and then include the ordinary rehearsal marks as well as the 
fermata above
the system only in the top stave of the score and the downwards fermata 
only in
the bottom stave of the score. Example:

\version "2.10.0"
\layout{
 \context{
   \Staff
   \consists Mark_engraver
 }
 \context{
   \Score
   \remove Mark_engraver
 }
}

\new StaffGroup <<
 \new Staff {
   c1
   \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = 
#begin-of-line-invisible
   \mark \fermataMarkup
 }
 \new Staff { c1 }
 \new Staff {
   c1
   \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = 
#begin-of-line-invisible
   \override Staff.RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN
   \mark \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.dfermata" }
 }
