Hi Michael,

1. I always put all score-level marks in a separate variable — usually called
global — and then <<>> it in where necessary.
2. I always include a custom context (I call it ScoreMarks) where I want such
things to appear in my system/score. In the snippet below, you’ll see my
template ScoreMarks context definition (which is usually \include-d in to the
file from a separate .ily file in my library).
3. In this case, because you’re using a TextSpanner, I had to use tags (to keep
the rit from showing up twice!); you could also \remove that engraver from
Staff if you weren’t using any non-ScoreMarks spanners.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction!
