horizontal shifting of rests

[Tom Cloyd]

In a 3 voice piece, I need a rest in the middle voice, but there's not 
enough space. I'm trying to shift the rest to the right, using

\once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #2.5 f,4\rest ... |

and it's being completely ignored. I cannot see why, nor can I find this 
issue addressed in the Notation reference.'

What's the solution?

Thanks!

T.
