A \mark is currently tied to bar events (specifically: a small selection 
of events like bar, time signature, clef, ...). The mark is moved to 
either end of the bar, wherever in the bar it occurs. I want to place 
the mark over some specific time within the bar, e.g. at the third 
quarter in a 4/4. Moving the mark around with offsets doesn't really do 
the tric either, the mark will appear at different times in different 
parts that share the same mark.

A possible workaround might be a Dynamics context that mimics the layout 
of \mark, but then a \mark over a bar is placed over the first note, not 
over the bar. Still, that might look best.
