Just set the direction property of the MultiMeasureRestNumber layout
object.

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?

Hmm, well the docs at lilypond.org were built on October 10th, the day
before yesterday.  My local build of the web was built yesterday, but
perhaps before your change.

If you go here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.3/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Multi-measure-rests.html#Multi-measure-rests

You can see the problem I'm describing in the last music example on the
page.

I'll rebuild my local web docs and take a look at what it says now.

I just compiled the latest CVS ChangeLog 1.2711 and got a surprise.  I
checked the docs at lilypond.org and found in section 5.15.8:

Texts can be added to multi-measure rests by using the note-markup syntax
(see Text markup). In this case, the number is replaced. If you need both
texts and the number, you must add the number by hand. A variable
(\fermataMarkup) is provided for adding fermatas

      \set Score.skipBars = ##t
      \time 3/4
      R2.*10^\markup { \number 10 }_\markup { "Ad lib" }
      R2.^\fermataMarkup

It says "In this case, the number is replaced," but it is not.  Both in my
.ly file and in the online docs the number is *not* replaced, but is
doubled.  The multimeasure rest is producing a rest number as well as the
\markup version.  It is always placing it above the staff, too.
