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.

I've just begun to learn LilyPond and already have this problem: when I try to use PianoStaff, LilyPond crashes without even writing a log entry. I uninstalled and reinstalled LP with no effect. If I remove the PianoStaff reference, it behaves as expected (although I can't get the results I want, due to my inexperience). I am running LP 2.10.13 under Windows XP. Thanks for any help you can provide me.
