Mats -
No substantive argument. Certainly not a high priority thing. Just seems
nice for consistency and completeness.

Subject: Re: FW: MultiMeasureRest font-size
Can you motivate a situation where it is interesting to
change that size. The (vertical) length of the end lines
is now determined as twice the separation between two staff lines, according
to normal typesetting practice. If you change the size of the stave itself,
this length should automatically be adjusted correspondingly, so there's no
reason to use the font-size to adjust to such a situation (in contrast to
ordinary rests or note heads). Maybe it could be useful for cue notes, but I
cannot recall how it's done in printed scores (don't even know if I have
ever seen a "church rest" in a cue).
