It is not an EventChord, only a NoteEvent

You can then use "arranger.ly"

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

\include "arranger.ly"

global = { \time 7/8 s8*7*2 }
#(init '(dummy))

flutes =  {
   <f' g'>8 r fis' 8 r  <d' gis'>8 r8 r
   <f' g'>8  r fis'  <d' gis'>8 r r4 }

noteToRest = #(define-music-function (music) (ly:music?)
   (map-some-music
      (lambda(evt)
        (case (name-of evt) ;; defined in "chordsAndVoices.ly"
          ((EventChord) evt)
          ((NoteEvent) (make-music 'RestEvent
                                   'duration (ly:music-property evt
'duration)))
          (else #f)))
      music))

flA = \extractNote #2 \flutes
flB = \extractNote #1 \noteToRest \flutes

#(rm 'flB '(1 4) #{ r4 #})

\score { <<
   \new Staff << \global \flutes >>
   \new Staff << \global \flA >>
   \new Staff << \global \flB >>
   >>
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

If you want to insert #{ r4 #} in the second beat of several bars, you
can use x-rm
and apply :

#(apply x-rm 'flB #{ r4 #} (map (lambda(n)(list n 4))
                                 '(1 3 7 12 19))) % => '((1 4) (3 4) (7
4)....)

If the 2 first bars are a rhythmic pattern used a lot of time in the
piece, you would probably prefer to use the function cp (changePitch).
