Hi,
If you know which voice is the longest and if you use variables for
the voices, then you can use skip-of-length longestVoiceVariableName .
%%%%
\version "2.15.21"
shortestVoice = \repeat unfold 8 e'1
midLengthVoice = \repeat unfold 16 d'1
longestVoice = \repeat unfold 24 c'1
\score {
<<
\new Staff = "shortest" {
<<
% in order to keep alive the staff (with spacer rests)
$(skip-of-length longestVoice) % 2.15.21 syntax
% #(skip-of-length longestVoice) % 2.14.2 syntax
\shortestVoice
>>
}
\new Staff = "midLength" {
<<
% in order to keep alive the staff (with spacer rests)
$(skip-of-length longestVoice) % 2.15.21 syntax
% #(skip-of-length longestVoice) % 2.14.2 syntax
\midLengthVoice
>>
}
\new Staff = "longest" {
\longestVoice
}
>>
}
%%%%

Xavier
