LilyPond Internals Reference: 2.2.79 Mark_engraver

### 2.2.79 `Mark_engraver`

This engraver creates rehearsal marks, segno and coda marks, and section labels.

`Mark_engraver` creates marks, formats them, and places them vertically outside the set of staves given in the `stavesFound` context property.

If `Mark_engraver` is added or moved to another context, `Staff_collecting_engraver` also needs to be there so that marks appear at the intended Y location.

By default, `Mark_engravers` in multiple contexts create a common sequence of marks chosen by the `Score`-level `Mark_tracking_translator`. If independent sequences are desired, multiple `Mark_tracking_translators` must be used.
