Some comments on pl 14.

The multibar rests stopped working properly. Each 'Rk*n' only counts
as a single bar. It doesn't matter if SkipBars is set or not.

I hope the dynamics will move down below the staffs again, now 
that they have reappeared.

I tried to get the \mark mechanism to work properly, now it only
displays the marks that happen to occur at the beginning of a score
line. 
First I tried to change line 56 of mark-engraver.cc
-  script_p_->postbreak_only_b_ = true;
+  script_p_->postbreak_only_b_ = false;
which makes all marks visible but duplicates the marks at the 
line breaks, one at the end of the previous line and one at the
top of the new line.

My next try was on line 44:
-  script_p_->breakable_b_ = true;
+  script_p_->breakable_b_ = false;
which again gives visible marks everywhere but the problem is
that they appear within the staff not outside it as in my 
previous attempt.
Is it possible to get the best of both worlds? Correct vertical
placement but no extra copies before the line breaks?

Currently the marks are placed below the staff, I would prefer
to have them above, which is accomplished with the following
patch:

In pl 13 the multibar rests worked but I made the following
aesthetical patch, would be nice to have ones they work again.

Regarding the suggestions for slur positioning, I'd like to add 
another wish. Slurs that are broken between staff lines go far
too far out in the margin both to the left and to the right.
