You're only using rests shorter than 10 bars; they're expanded to
church style rests; by convention.
Try:
\score
{
\notes
{
\clef violin
\key bes \major
\time 4/4
% don't expand short rests
\property Score.MultiMeasureRest \override #'expand-limit = #2
\property Score.skipBars = ##t R1*8 R1*2
\relative c'' {
[d8-- d->] r4 d4-^ r des4.-- c8-> r2
% etc...
}
}
\paper { }
}

If you look in the automatically generated documentation under multi
measure rest, there's a hint about this:
