Gould says to put it at the end below the staff. Hers are lowercase,
italic and not bold.

This is how I've defined it in the past:

attacca =
{
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility =
#begin-of-line-invisible
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = 1
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
  \mark \markup{\bold Attacca}
}

I think that depends if the attacca is between movements or not.Bar
numbering usually restarts for a new movement.
