I found no way to make it work with all possible \time-settings via \applyOutput

Hence the engraver below. (Also attached.)
Formating is done in a scheme-function `formatMMRNumber'. Thanks David
for the hint to `translated-scale'
Printing of the range may be enabled/disabled by setting the new
defined context-property `printMmrRange'.

Some remarks/TODOs, especially:
Why I cannot _create_ a MultiMeasureRestText-grob via `ly:engraver-make-grob'?
It works for TextScript ...

\version "2.19.36"

%% define the custom context-property `printMmrRange'
#(define (define-translator-property symbol type? description)
  (if (not (and (symbol? symbol)
    (procedure? type?)
    (string? description)))
      (ly:error "error in call of define-translator-property"))
  (if (not (equal? (object-property symbol 'translation-doc) #f))
      (ly:error (_ "symbol ~S redefined") symbol))

  (set-object-property! symbol 'translation-type? type?)
  (set-object-property! symbol 'translation-doc description)
  symbol)

#(for-each
  (lambda (x)
    (apply define-translator-property x))
    `((printMmrRange
       ,boolean?
       "Print range of a MultiMeasureRest")))

%% define how to format `start' and `stop'
%% for `MultiMeasureRestNumber' in the engraver
%% TODO find a method to set the values for `translate-scaled'
formatMMRNumber =
#(define-scheme-function (start stop)(integer? integer?)
#{
  \markup
    \center-column {
       #(number->string (- stop start))
       %% value found by try and error
       \translate-scaled #'(0 . -6.5)
       \with-dimensions #empty-interval #empty-interval
       \halign #CENTER
       \normal-text
       \fontsize #-2
