Re: widening measures with rests

[Mats Bengtsson]

Try
  \once \property Voice.MultiMeasureRest \set #'minimum-length = #'25



Question to those understanding the LilyPond internals better than I do:

Why doesn't
\property Voice.MultiMeasureRestText \set #'no-spacing-rods = ##f
do the same job? Doesn't it work together with spanners, or?
