Your marks are underneath the double bass (hence the improbable
offset) because the MarkLine context is rejected by GrandStaff. You've
got two options:

- put the MarkLine context outside the GrandStaff blocks;
- add another \context block to \layout:

\context {
  \GrandStaff
  \accepts MarkLine
}

I see you're using SystemStartBraces; IMO they tend to look very ugly
when they get large. Brackets are much more idiomatic.

You've got a StaffGroup for the whole orchestra, which means your
rehearsal marks clash with the bar line above the violins; it's also
easier to see the individual groups if each is barred separately.

Neil
