### 3.2.68 multi-measure-rest-interface

A rest that spans a whole number of measures.

#### User settable properties:

> `bound-padding` (number)

>   The amount of padding to insert around spanner bounds.

> `expand-limit` (integer)

>   Maximum number of measures expanded in church rests.

> `hair-thickness` (number)

>   Thickness of the thin line in a bar line.

> `measure-count` (integer)

>   The number of measures for a multi-measure rest.

> `minimum-length` (dimension, in staff space)

>   Try to make a spanner at least this long, normally in the horizontal direction. This requires an appropriate callback for the `springs-and-rods` property. If added to a `Tie`, this sets the minimum distance between noteheads.

> `spacing-pair` (pair)

>   A pair of alignment symbols which set an object’s spacing relative to its left and right `BreakAlignment`s.

>   For example, a `MultiMeasureRest` will ignore prefatory items at its bounds (i.e., clefs, key signatures and time signatures) using the following override:

>   >     \override MultiMeasureRest #'spacing-pair = #'(staff-bar . staff-bar)

> `thick-thickness` (number)

>   Bar line thickness, measured in `line-thickness`.

#### Internal properties:

> `use-breve-rest` (boolean)

>   Use breve rests for measures longer than a whole rest.

This grob interface is used in the following graphical object(s): MultiMeasureRest and PercentRepeat.
