That would be a very helpful and time-saving feature, especially when
producing orchestral parts. How much would it be worth? I'd be willing
to contribute a modest amount if a few others wanted to join in as well.

\emptyText } >>
The width of the bar expands to contain the text, but the multirest is
too high by two staff lines. And according to the manual, you cannot
adjust the "pitch" of a multirest to move it up and down. If there
is another way to move the multirest up and down (and keep it
centered), then this hack will work. Is that possible? Or is there
another solution to this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Why don't you simply set the minimum-length property on
MultiMeasureRest(Text)?
Why can't LilyPond figure out the length of the text itself?
Maybe a new feature somebody wants to sponsor?
