And other things too? Try the following ...

f1->\fermata R1*3 R1\fermata

The first fermata prints fine. The second fermata prints "programming 
error: Object is not a markup." in the log and doesn't print. So that's 
another bug tracked down in my piece, but - from a musician's pov - it 
doesn't make sense that the first example on a note should work fine, 
and the second on a rest produces an error. (It never used to work on 
notes at all, iirc, only as a mark on barlines, so maybe I should be 
grateful for small mercies :-)

It's easy enough to fix - something like "\markup #symbol.fermata" - 
I'll have to look up the syntax - but it's just frustrating that it's 
not consistent.
