SLopUF: Sumatra and issue 635 (pdf locking)

Welcome to LilyPond, Don! Here on version 2.11.51 your source code compiles without any problem. Maybe you should try the current development version? And a little hint: If you replace r1 by R1 you get a rest that is centered in the bar. That´s what´s looking better for fullbar-rests most time.
