Hi Werner,

Is this snippet part of the documentation?
If you want to achieve the positioning of two opposite fermata signs
over a bar line (or more generally print two simultaneous RehearsalMark
possibly with different settings), I'd suggest to use Neil's
"multi-mark-engraver" instead.

I made a request to add this feature in LilyPond by default and this is
now one of the most starred issue of the tracker (many French users
would like this).
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3166

Otherwise, yes, I think this is a bug but I think Mike is already
taking care of it (IIUC last mails about skylines etc.), with the help
of David and Keith (IIRC).

Cheers,
Xavier
