Subject: 2.13.61 2 rehearsal marks

Hi,

I need to to place a fermata over a bar line at the end of a line and
have a rehearsal mark at the beginning of the next line.  I would
normally use \mark to place the fermata over the bar line but then I
don't know how to reuse \mark for the rehearsal mark.

As a workaround I would consider not having the fermata bar line at the
end of a line and do everything with one \mark but haven't seen a way to
get the fermata exactly centered over the bar line.

However to get what you want is tricky as you want 'effectively' two \mark 
glyphs at the same time (the fact that it is on the next line rather than the 
end of the line is irrelevant to LilyPond - it is as if you were trying to 
place them on the same spot) and you cannot do this easily.

There are some machinations that you can do to get two 'marks' on the same bar 
line but above and below thus:

and

However what you could also do is use the first method to put the fermata at 
the end of the line then use a 'new' \mark in a new bar line on the next line 
and a break-align it

and move it 'back' towards the start of the new line (if you see what I mean).

You can even (I do this sometimes) use a normal markup to a note and then tweak 
it so it shifts 'left'.
