{ \time 4/2 R1*4/2 }

The above prints a breve rest in the middle of the bar.
I want the "normal" whole-bar rest to appear instead, i.e. a semibreve
rest.
After much experimentation and searching online and in the Lilypond
docs, the best I have come up with is
%%%%%
\version "2.19.48"
\language "english"
{ \time 4/2
\once \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override MultiMeasureRest.text = \markup \musicglyph "rests.0"
R1*4/2 }
%%%%%
This doesn't work correctly, for reasons I can partly understand. The
required rest does appear, but it is at the beginning of the stave
rather than in the middle of the bar.
How can I get the result I want?
