Very true, sorry.

I'd like to add an example of moving the engraver around, but the below 
code doesn't work -- it still only prints the mark above the topmost 
stave.  Any ideas?

\version "2.7.40"
{
  \new Score \with {
    \remove "Mark_engraver"
  }
  <<
    \new Staff \with {
      \consists "Mark_engraver"
    }
    { c''1 \mark "foo" c'' }
    \new Staff \with {
      \consists "Mark_engraver"
    }
    { c'1 c' }
  >>
}
