OK.  Do you have a naming convention I should adhere to or a recomendation
for the name of the boolean.  You are right.  I am only using the value
of measure-length to compare against 2 so a boolean set in the engraver
would do the job.  I was using measure-length since the property was
defined in other contexts and it looked like I was using it for its
intended purpose.  I'll back out my changes and work up a new patch.

I am sending patches against 1.6.5 since that is the version I am using.
I haven't upgraded to 1.7.2 because I haven't had time to update guile
to version 1.6.0 yet.  While I can send patches against 1.7.2, I cannot
test them out yet.

I'll take care of that.  I'll send updates to the documentation for the
final version of the patch.
