Thanks for responding.  However I don't want the fermata over a bar 
line.  I want it over the music between two bar lines.

Actually your response reminded me why what I tried might not work since 
\fermataMarkup is designed for full measure rests.  I'm still looking 
for a way to put a fermata over a tremolo but see below for your question.

To get it to work on the last bar line use:

\override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
