Multi-measure rests not currently supported

[ndickson]

I just tried out the converter to test what it supported, (by the way, thanks so much for developing it!), and it looks like it omits multi-measure rest bars. There were a bunch of other small issues too, but it looks like that was the missing thing that would probably be easiest to add support for.

Adding support for the custom slur object and custom hairpin object would be great too, among other things, but I'm guessing they might be difficult. I've attached the file I was trying to convert as a test. Should I submit other issue reports for other issues with the conversion?

Sure, it never hurts to document other issues. Thank you.

Cool! I'd offer to help with the code, but I'm way over-committed on side projects and work right now. (It's also been a few years since I've touched Java; not since Oracle took it over and started suing people.)

One caveat I just thought of with the multi-measure rests is that the default display is as a multi-measure rest in a single-staff print, but as separate whole rests in a multi-staff print. Maybe that's automatic in MusicXML, but maybe not.

It looks like a 4-bar multi-measure rest would be specified like:

<attributes>
  <measure-style>
    <multiple-rest>4</multiple-rest>
  </measure-style>
</attributes>

according to: https://usermanuals.musicxml.com/MusicXML/Content/EL-MusicXML-measure-style.htm
