+Markups attached to a multi-measure rest will be centered above or
+below it.  Long markups attached to multi-measure rests do not cause
+the measure to expand.  To expand a multi-measure rest to fit the
+markup, use an empty chord with an attached markup before the
+multi-measure rest.
+
+Text attached to a spacer rest in this way is left-aligned to the
+position where the note would be placed in the measure, but if the
+measure length is determined by the length of the text, the text will
+appear to be centered.
