Wouldn't it make more sense if articulations were siphoned off a
multimeasure and tacked back on by the multimeasure engraver?

On the other hand, I have a hard time imagining what this should be
equivalent to when expanded.  Fermata on the last bar?  If so, I'd
likely place the fermata after the multimeasure rest symbol.

What other articulations are to be expected on multimeasure rests?
