Using a percent repeat with plainchant

To use a single percent repeat for plainchant, override the stencil for a multi-measure rest and align the chant lyrics to a hidden note.

Note that multi-measure rests are incompatible with cadenza timing, so normal timing should be enabled for the duration of the rest.
