That's it!  Thanks!

1. The documentation for Multi_measure_rest_engraver says:
If a multimeasure rest takes less than this number of measures, no 
number is printed.
What is true is:
If a multimeasure rest takes less than this number of measures + 2, no 
number is printed.  i.e. 0 gives me what I want instead of 2 as the doc 
implies.

2. I think 0 the way it works now or 2 if the documentation is meant to 
be correct should be the default.

Thanks,

Paul
