you use ly:make-moment

This works a treat - thanks.

I find that this has some of the disadvantages of adding an 's2' after
the 'r4'. Although only one crotchet rest appears in the last bar of
each part, there is a noticeable gap after it before the final bar.

I am using Lilypond 2.18.0 - I don't know whether later versions would
behave differently.
