Actually it is not specific to tuplets.

%%%% Begin lily code

\version "2.17.12"

% NoteColumn 'force-hshift does not work for rests

\new Staff {
  <<
    \new Voice {
      \voiceOne
      \relative c' {
        f4
        \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1
        f4
        r4
        % rests are not force-shifted
        \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1
        r4 |
      }
    }
    \new Voice {
      \voiceTwo
      \relative c' {
        \repeat unfold 4 c4 |
      }
    }
  >>
}

%%%% End of lily code
