Agree.  You need also to remove "Staff_collecting_engraver" from
Score to Staff , otherwise it will appear _also_ on top of the Score .
Warning: this will affect RehearsalMark in the same way (but this is
not really a problem IMO since both are usually displayed similarly).

That's what I'm doing too (for both MetronomeMark and RehearsalMark).
