problem with rehearsal mark

[liang seng]

Hi, I would like to illustrate a problem regarding the Rehearsal Marks in 
scores.
 Here, I have two seperate parts ( soprano2.ly and bass2.ly ) which I 
intend to combine into a full score ( exultate2.ly ). In the seperate parts, 
I lengthened the distance between the rehearsal mark (Recitativo) and the 
staves. Of course, this works with the \override Score.Rehearsal #'padding = 
#(number) function in each of the parts. The problem crops up when I combine 
the parts in a score. Here the Rehearsal Mark's position is in its original 
unchanged position, which is unaffected the \override command. I tried 
putting the \override RehearsalMark command in the layout block as shown in 
the file, but it doesn't seem to work. What is wrong here? I tried putting 
it in different positions but the outcome (or the lack of ) is frustrating
 2. Is there a marked difference between a stable and a development version 
of Lilypond? This is because I'm now using version 2.6.3 and I intend to use 
2.7.x for its extended support for figured bass. Can I use the development 
version for my computer that is using Windows 98? Would I need to use 
convert-ly since I see no major syntax change and I just need to change the 
version number of the .ly files.
I can upload the pdf files if you would like to but the upload rate on my 
dial up is crap though.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Seng Liang.
P.S. As I live in Malaysia, can I join the mailing list?
