Hi,

I think you cannot remove the "Multi_measure_rest_engraver", nor
override MultiMeasureRest #'stencil to ##f, because they are needed
for the MultiMeasureRestText you want printed.

But you can make them transparent:
  \override MultiMeasureRestText #'transparent = ##t

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Xavier
