Paul Release 11 differs from release 10 in this respect. IIRC release 10 expanded a bar to accommodate text attached to a skip note in a multi-measure rest bar. The R11 NR now says at the end of 1.2.2, Writing rests:
"Text attached to a multi-measure rest will be centered above or below it. Long text attached in this way does not cause the measure to expand, and may collide with text in adjacent measures. Long text is better attached to a zero-length skip note preceding the rest, preceded by \fatText (turn off again with \emptyText), since this will cause the measure to expand to accommodate the length of the text. "Text attached to a skip note in this way is left-aligned to the position where the note would be placed in the bar, and placed above the bar count numeral, but because the bar length is determined by the length of the text, the text will appear to be centered. If two (or more) texts are attached to skip notes in a bar the bar length is determined by the longer text, and the shorter text is then clearly left-aligned, as shown in the second bar above. If the shorter text of two marks is short enough to fit it will be placed alongside and to the left of the bar count numeral." Does this explain your problem?
