Subject: Can you make MultiMeasureRests ignore spaces?

I'm trying to separate my layout from my notes - what I'd like to have is 
something like:

Notes = 
{
                R1*4/4*4 |
}

Layout =
{
                s1*4/4*1 |
                s1*4/4*1 |
                s1*4/4*1 |
                s1*4/4*1 |
}

\score
{
                \new Staff
                <<
      \compressFullBarRests
                                \Notes
                                \Layout
                >>
}

However, when I have the layout per measure, the MultiMeasureRest doesn't get 
compressed.  It's easy to solve by just doing s1*4/4*4, but I'd like to leave 
the layout in individual measures if possible.  Any suggestions?

[James' reply:] Put the \compressFullBarRests inside the music variable

Notes = { 
            \compressFullBarRests
              R1*4/4*4
}

etc
