There really is no mysetery here. r2. gives you a dotted half-note rest. In 3/4 time, R2. gives you a full-measure rest. Use whichever type of rest you want to see in your score.On Sat, Sep 01, 2007 at 10:26:00PM -0700, Mark Dewey wrote:Anyway, just a musical question: Is it wrong to just use r2.

None of the 3/4 time scores I've looked at in my (admittedly limited) musical experience use dotted half-rests ("r2." in LilyPond) for a full measure rest. Instead, they all use whole rests ("r1" in Lilypond).
Please note that there is a difference between 4 beats of rest (r1) and a whole-measure rest ( R +beats_in_your_bar )
