> > I do not understand R1*4? R is a full bar rest of the specified duration. Thus, R1 is a full bar rest that only makes sense in a 4/4 context. Duration-wise it spans the same time as r1, but is placed in the middle of the bar instead on the starting beat (or moment). Likewise R2 is a full bar rest in a 2/4 context, placed in the middle &c.
Another difference: R1 * 4 specifies 4 consecutive 4/4 full bar rests, whereas r1 * 4 specifies a single rest whose duration is quadrupled. It's all covered in the notation manual, of course ...
