Re: multimeasure rest + text

[David Bobroff]

Yes Mats, you're absolutely right. The docs have been updated to reflect
the current behavior of LilyPond.  Now my problem is that I would like
to set the number of measures rest below a multimeasure rest from time
to time.  Before, Lily would replace the number with the \markup text
and the number of measures would need to be added manually.  A minor
inconvenience, but one that allowed a certain flexibility.  There must
be a way of overriding this, no?
