Yes, more or less – it is for supporting a MusicXML feature that
probably gets introduced in the next version, see

  https://github.com/w3c/musicxml/issues/557

This means I don't need this right now but was rather interested
whether somebody has worked on this issue already.

Note that a solution without a transformation, i.e., simply providing
a multi-measure rest, is rather straightforward to implement in
`musicxml2ly`.  However, this would drop a lot of information that
might be relevant for manual adjustment after converting MusicXML to
Lilypond code.

Sounds sensible, and thanks for the suggested outline!
