RE: misbehaving voice entry in 4 part piano score

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Tom,
Here is the header:
\header {
   title = "O for thy spirit, holy John" %centered below dedication
   subsubtitle = "(version \date)" %centered below subtitle - used as both 
composition date and ascension number for the coposition.
   composer = "Flor Peeters" %flush right }
}

Change the two "R1" to "R2.".

Subject: misbehaving voice entry in 4 part piano score

Greetings -

Returning to the piano after a 50+ year absence (yes the heart has grown 
fonder), I am engraving my first piano score - a copy of an existing score.

The second voice  ("VOICE THREE" BELOW) in the base clef is supposed to enter 
on the beat 1 of the measure 3. Instead, Lilypond prints 3 full-measure rests 
instead of the intended 2, and this is entering on beat 3 of measure 3.

I can make no sense of this. Reviewing the documentation for well over an hour 
has been fruitless. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

\version "2.20.0"

#(set-global-staff-size 20) % 20 is said to be standard for most scores date = 
#(strftime "%Y.%m.%d" (localtime (current-time))) % define a variable to hold 
the formatted date

\header {
   title = "O for thy spirit, holy John" %centered below dedication
   subsubtitle = \markup { "( version" \date")" } %centered below subtitle - 
used as both composition date and ascension number for the coposition.
   composer = \markup \center-column {"Flor Peeters"} %flush right }

\paper {
   #(set-default-paper-size "letter" 'portrait)
   system-system-spacing.padding = #5 % controls padding within systems
   ragged-last-bottom = ##t % turns off vertical justify
   left-margin = 0.6\in
   line-width = 7\in   % works better than specifying R-margin
   bottom-margin = 1.4\in % needed for good printing with Okular
   top-margin = 1\in
  }

global = {
   \key e \major
   %\tempo "Allegretto" 4=90 %{ metronome marking will be in parentheses, if 
accompanied by verbal tempo marking; or just precede it with empty parentheses 
to obtain metron. marking in parens. %}
   }
