I believe 1st and 2nd and EndVolta markings are "marks" that is, you
can put them in as many or as few of the staffs that you are
typesetting as you like, *provided they are at the same "moment"*

I think you could very usefully use a staff for marks and put them
there. But the bit about *at the same moment* is crucial - if you put
them at different moments - that is musical times (beats) in the score
- they will be typeset at both moments in all staffs. The same is true
of barlines.
In your score, for instance at bar 82 in the Mandola and at bar 83 in
the Guitar you have start first time bar markings - that won't work if
you typeset them together.

It appears wherever your cursor is when you insert it. Whether it is
before or after the Denemo Barline is of no consequence(*), they are
both at the same "moment", Denemo Barlines are just a convenience
inside Denemo for breaking the music into chunks to display, the don't
cause any LilyPond output (unless you force it).

So, you could check through to see where you have markings that are not
 in the same moment, or move them all to a Marks Staff... (I've not
tested this last option, but it should be fine).

(*) but to make the display easy to read put them in the same position
in each staff.
