Re: vertically center rests in polyphonic voices

[William Rehwinkel via LilyPond user discussion]

Dear Jin,




\version "2.25.6"

upper = \relative c'' {
  \new Voice {
    \voiceOne c4 b4\rest c4 b4\rest
  }
  \new Voice {
    \voiceTwo c4 b4\rest c4 b4\rest
  }
}
\new Staff = "upper" \upper


Thanks,
-William

You can write <pitch>4\rest instead of r4 to specify what "pitch" (vertical position) the rest should appear at. You should write the note that is the middle line of the staff for it to appear like a \oneVoice rest. So

\version "2.24.1"

upper = \relative c'' {
   \new Voice {
     \voiceOne c4 r4 c4 r4
   }
   \new Voice {
     \voiceTwo c4 r4 c4 r4
   }
}
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
