Conor,

I am inclined to agree with Kieren. Manually putting the marks in EVERY
staff can be tedious and error prone, depending on how many you plan to use.
The better way is to create another voice that only contains spacer rests
with the marks at the appropriate position(s), then make it simultaneous
with a voice in each staff. That way you only have to define where the marks
are once, but it is replicated perfectly. Here's a complete example:

%< ------------------------ SNIP

\version "2.18.2"

markVoice = {
  s1*3
  \mark \default
  s1*5
  \mark \default
  s1*4
}

partI = \relative c' {
 \repeat unfold 13 { c1 }
}

partII = \relative c' {
 \repeat unfold 13 { d1 }
}

\score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice \markVoice
      \new Voice \partI
    >>
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice \markVoice
      \new Voice \partII
    >>
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \remove "Mark_engraver"
    }
    \context {
      \Staff
      \consists "Mark_engraver"
    }
  }
}

%< ------------------------ SNIP

HTH,
Abraham
