Well, you can set it, but it is used internally and your setting is later on 
overwritten. Basically, You can set it to ##f, but when LilyPond processes the 
music, it calls the code that I quoted in my previous mail:

- From multi-measure-rest-engraver.cc (lines 218-221):

      if (ml >= Rational (2))
        last_rest_->set_property ("use-breve-rest", SCM_BOOL_T);

As you can see, that code overwrites your setting, and there is no way you can 
change that property after this code and before the pdf is finally created... 
So, any setting to that property will simply be ignored.

Would it be possible to set this property only when it is not yet (manually) 
set?

Cheers,
Reinhold
