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?
