Hi William,
If you want to write more rests, the syntax is
r4 r r b
Much like
c'4 r e f
are all quarter notes and a quarter rest.
Lilypond remembers the duration, but needs to know what to print with
that duration.
Best wishes,
Jakob

Hello all,
Am I misunderstanding something, or is this a bug? Since the "r4" at
the start of the second measure is fully qualified, I was expecting
the "4"s that follow it to be quarter rests as well, but I'm seeing
"c"s in the rendered output.
\version "2.25.6"
{
c'4 r r r
% The middle 4s are "c"s instead of rests
| r4 4 4 b
}
