Re: Caesura in Rehearsal Mark over each line of system

Snippet included below.

1. In both scores, the breath mark appears in all Staff contexts (because it’s 
in \global, which is included in every Staff).
2. In the second score with the Mark_engraver moved to the Staff context level, 
the ‘A’ rehearsal mark is above every Staff — likely not desired behaviour.

In general, the \global variable should contain everything that you want in 
every Voice — like time signatures, tonalities, etc. — and engravers should be 
\consist-ed at the appropriate level to display the grobs where they are 
needed/desired.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
