It seems that the rehearsal marks in 2.0.x are not typeset in boldface,
just one step larger than ordinary lyrics and text scripts. You could
change the default values by setting some properties, for example:
\property Score.RehearsalMark \set #'font-series = #'bold
For more information, follow the link to "RehearsalMark" at the

In recent 2.1.x versions, the default is boldface and the way to change
it has changed.

I don't have any 2.0.x version installed, but from the regression test
of version 2.0.3 on the web, it seems to be solved, see
