Darcy, After thinking a bit more, what is really the best thing to do is to put a cue line in the resting parts (either with notes or rhythms) and indicate it as such. Make sure you include the applicable pick-ups for the next downbeat. It will be even less ambiguous than simply entering rests. If, however, it is a simple fermata on the last note and a simple downbeat to the following measure, don't "annoy the cat" by giving unnecessary information. Apply the fermata as a measure expression, position it accordingly, and us a double bar or a tempo change indication (if applicable) to visually flag the section. Again, it depends on the situation.
