It's more likely that your mail reader interpreted ">>" as a quoted
line and didn't show it to you. The final ">>" came through just fine
for me.

Yes -- for Peter's benefit: R1 will display the rest symbol centered
between the barlines. "r1" aligns the rest symbol with the first "note
column" in the measure.


Peter: FWIW, I could not reproduce the problem with lilypond exiting
early based on that input file. On my Linux machine, it does produce
the PDF (though I did have to change the \version statement to match
my installed version):

Unfortunately, I have no idea what the problem *is* but at least my
result seems to confirm that there is nothing wrong with the input
file.
