I'm working on a lead sheet but being a novice i'm hitting my head against the wall at some noob problems. 

Bar 1) 
Stemlets. Do it have to be this hard creating them? Is there a way to make it global? Also, i want the stemlet to reach down towards the rest. How?
How do i make custom rehersal marks?
When using \markup { ... } the whole score looses it layout and to add insult it does not display any text. I must have done something wrong.

1) Stemlets: why do you want to write them like this? Normal quavers are fine

1) My experience is that reading rhythms with the stemlets over the rests helps alot. It is a tad "modern" but generally approved. Is there a way to make it global? 

2) use \mark "A", not \markup "A"

 

2) Thank you!

Bar 8)
Why does the double barline not exend equaly through both staffs?

 

You've made the lower staff smaller with   \magnifyStaff #5/7, so its barline will be a different size too.  I've had this with instrumentname recently (answered on here, it's by design)

 

3) Is it perhaps better do make an ossai staff? I'm a little scared by ossias. Seems like a lot of work to get it done.
