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? 

I'd agree that's the case for rhythms like ` a16 [ r b c ] d [ r c b ] ` but I don't *think* I've ever seen quavers written as you have done ` r8 [ a ] r [ b ] ` in commercial printed music. Just looks strange to me, but I appreciate you want it a certain way and that's fine.

As for making it global, I don't know of a way, but I am sure it's possible to write a function to make it happen. Not my expertise unfortunately.
