In the case of marks added by an editor (often the case with very old music
say baroque or renaissance (sp?)) you can happily ignore them all, also true
in an arrangement. In the case of a composition the rules depend on the
composer. For Wagner you must adhere precisely to all marks on the score, for
Eric Ball, who I believe said words to the effect "I've finished writing the
notes now it's up to you to turn it into music", you should use the marks as a
guideline only.
