I mean that the code for RehearsalMark was just a wrapper round an
ordinary mark. So if you tried to put both on the same barline, the
underlying engine just saw two ordinary marks, and threw one away. That
was very frustrating back then.

What happens if you attach a markup to an empty chord? something like this?

| \mark \default <>^\markup { Put this after the rehearsal mark }

I do this a fair bit, and no it is not a perfect solution, but it's
quite often good enough. (Apologies if the syntax isn't quite right.)
