[Patch:] MultiMeasureRest markups in tablature

[Marc Hohl]

Hello,

I got the following message from Viktor Mastoridis to the tablature list:
> Hello everyone,
>
> I haven't been using Lilyponds tablature functions for some time, but 
> now I am back and using the tablature.ly <http://tablature.ly> has 
> helped dramatically in clearing up the looks of a score.
> So, heartedly thanks to all contributors.

> The whole score/tablature looks nice and clean (I am using 
> \tabNumbersOnly)

> Except  when I want to add a text markup after a "R" rest (whole rest 
> for the bar, regardless of its time sign.).

> Thus, this sentence:
> R1._\markup \rounded-box {"Impr."}

> produces the word "Impr." in both the score and tab.

> If I do

I prepared a patch, see attachment; can somebody push it?

Thanks in advance
