Kira,
In your music code, for /VoiceTwo (the alto voice) where you have r16 (for the sixteenth rest) and r4 (for the quarter rest) for that voice, you should be able to replace both the r16 and the r4 with an alternate method for specifying a rest: <pitch><duration>\rest
So
r16
to
d'16\rest
and
r4
to
d'4\rest
This will tell Lilypond to put the rest below the lowest line of the treble clef staff. You can specify any pitch you want (e.g., c' or b) to create "space" between the lowest note of /VoiceOne, etc.
Does this NOT work for
you?
Regards.

I should specify I’m on version 2.16.2. It’s for work, and that’s the version they need.

Another 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.
