Sorry, you have to set the property in the Staff context,
not in the Voice context, since the
Multi_measure_rest_engraver lives in the Staff context:

\override Staff.MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1

To see what I'm talking about, take a look at the first example image in the "Multi measure rests" section of the user manual. The 17-measure rest is as I described it above, while the 4-measure rest is displayed differently. I'm trying to get all of the multi-measure rests to be displayed like the 17- measure example (as I said, this seems to be the standard in every concert
band piece I've seen).


If you look at the section on Multimeasure rests in the on-line manual
and look at the end of the page, you will find a link to the detailed
program reference for the MultiMeasureRest object. In the list of
properties that can be set, you can find one called expand-limit,
which you can set to a lower value, for example
\override MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1

A hint about this property can also be found in the example
multi-measure-rest.ly in the Regression Tests document (which
is an invaluable source of examples and information, together
with the Tips and Tricks document).


I looked at the documentation for the MultiMeasureRest object, as well as
multi-measure-rest.ly, but the only thing I found was what you gave me:
  \override MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1
and that didn't seem to work (I tried values of #2 and #3).  There didn't
seem to be any difference-- the >10 measure rests were printed as church
rests, and the smaller ones were printed as breve rests.
