This is natural because an "r1" *is* a whole note rest taking four beats.

What you want to have is a full note rest that *looks* like an r1 but is 
actually written with a capital "R" and the actual duration. So what you need 
is R2.

You'll also notice that this one will (correctly) be centered in the measure 
while the "r1" will sit at the left.
