RE: rest placement in multi-voice piano staff

[Stephen MacNeil]

you can specify a placement for the rest by indicating a note\rest. in this case i used g8\rest

hope that helps

\include "english.ly"

pianoVoiceOne = \relative c' { <fs b d>2 <f c'> }

pianoVoiceTwo = \relative c' { s1 }

pianoVoiceThree = \relative c' { \stemDown g8\rest a fs [ d ] \stemUp b gs <e'

gs>4 }

pianoVoiceFour = \relative c, { \stemDown b2 e }
