I know that, thanks, but it is not very elegant IMHO. In particular,
you have to adjust the number of bars of the score, AFAIK, in case you
are adding, say, three bars. And it gets really tiresome if you have
a lot of metric changes.
Maybe a scheme engraver could help? Something that listens to the bar
number counter, emitting events to trigger multi-measure rest breaks?
