Re: vertical position MultiMeasureRest

[Mats Bengtsson]

You can simplify your code significantly, by not using the <<{...} \\ 
{...} >>
feature when you combine the music \pnUp with the chords \pnChords.
Just replace your line
\new Staff = "pn" { << \pnUp \\ \pnChords >> }
by
\new Voice = "pn" { << \pnUp \pnChords >> }
This will put both \pnUp and \pnChords as two parallel lines within the
same Voice context, which means that you don't have to fiddle around with
the stem directions or rest positions or anything.
I strongly encourage you to read the section on "Explicitly 
instantiating voices"
carefully, to get a better understanding on when it is and when it's not
appropriate to use the \\ feature.

The reason that the setting didn't work in your example is probably that
you had nested two <<{...} \\ {...} >> constructs within each other. It's
probably not really well defined what should happen then.
