Hmm. This is a real puzzler, because even though the Beam object
implements the grob-interface, only certain grob properties have any
effect. Specifically, I tried the following on a small test file and
they did nothing:

Use backslashes instead of forward. Also, backslashes separate logical
units, so if your second expression consists of more than one note,
you'll need to enclose it in curly-braces as I have shown above.

If you look here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Multi-measure-rests.html
you'll see that adding a fermata to a multi-measure rest (R1 rather than
