Subject: Re: Realigning restsHi Elaine,I dont think that solution works on my version of Lilypond. I tried the \override MultiMeasure rest that I found on the manual, but I am not sure where to put it in the code... Sorry to be such a beginner!On Thu, Sep 9, 2021 at 7:01 PM Flaming Hakama by Elaine <elaine@flaminghakama.com> wrote:

Subject: Realigning restsAnother question! Sorry for the photo: I’m in a cafe with no internet at the moment. I need to get the alto rests at the end of the bar out of the way of the soprano. The alto is \voiceTwo, the soprano is \voiceOne. What I found online was for multi measure rests of a long duration, these aren’t the whole measure and are very short.Producer ~ Composer ~ Instrumentalist ~ EducatorIf you mean "out of the way" as in not appear, you could use spacers instead of rests in the music ( like s8. instead of r8. )If you want to push the rest to somewhere else on the staff, you can specify the position as if it were a note, then add \rest after it ( so, like a'8. \rest instead of r8. )HTH,

What I suggested is available in 2.16

Elaine
An invisible rest (also called a ‘spacer rest’) can be entered like a note with the note name
s:
To explicitly specify a rest’s vertical position, write a note followed by
\rest. A rest of the duration of the note will be placed at the staff position where the note would appear.
