AFAICT, it will not be possible to have \rOne automagically generate a
one measure rest for any time signature, as the current time signature
is not known at the time the one measure rest music expression will be
generated (a time signature indication is just another music
expression). You will have to give \rOne a duration parameter, but then
using directly R1^\one or R1*3/4^\one will be cleaner (more readable)
and not longer than, say, \rOne r1 or \rOne r2.
