FW: MultiMeasureRest font-size

[Fairchild]

This thread inspires a feature request.

In v 2.4.3, simple MultiMeasure rests can only be scaled piecewise.  Please
implement font-size for MultiMeasureRest so it is effective for simple rests
as well as church rests.

If this is not possible, at least add length of the vertical end lines and
length of the horizontal bar to the handles now available.

See:

ultiMeasureRest.html#MultiMeasureRest

Thanks.

Bruce,

AFAICT from the code there is no such property. You could send in a 
feature request  :-)
