I am very astonished that  a full pause in a 3/4 measure is four quarters long. How to note then a full pause?

If I'm understanding correctly: you're wondering why a full bar rest in 3/4 is output as a whole rest?  By convention, a full measure rest is notated as a whole rest in whatever meter, and you'd request it in 3/4 with R2.

Thank you. And how to code that rest when I wand it on the e.g. d –line: D2.\rest does not work.

You can find a snippet demonstrating what to do here:

(Scroll down to "positioning full-measure rests.")
