Thank you so much for your help - using R1 instead of r1 did the trick.
I don't know how, in a year's worth of reading documentation, the sentence 
"Whole measure rests, centered in the middle of the measure, must be entered as 
multi-measure rests." in section 1.2.2 of the Notation Reference never fully 
sank in... I never skipped over to the section entitled "Whole Measure Rests" 
except when I was trying to deal with multiple measures of rests.
Thanks again!

The "official" abbreviation for that is actually NR (as in "Notation
Reference", the proper title of the manual).
