Hi all,

is it possible to have a rest centered between two staves?

I could use something like some_pitch\rest but it changes depending on the 
case: for example, when there is an ottava bracket or if the clef changes.
beside the dynamics example shown in precious mails, you might use

  \override Rest #'staff-position = #-12

to have rests under the staff. This solution doesn't depend on ottavas or clefs, but on spacing between staves.

You also might try to introduce another staff, wich hides all symbols except rests and put the music also in there:
--snip--
upper = \relative c'' {
  c4 c c r
}
lower = \relative c {
  \clef "bass"
  c4 r c c
}

\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff \with {
    \override Rest #'transparent = ##t
  } \upper
  \new Staff \with {
    \consists "Rest_engraver"
    \override StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f
    \override NoteHead #'stencil = ##f
    \override Stem #'stencil = ##f
    \override Beam #'stencil = ##f
    \override TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
    \override Clef #'stencil = ##f
  } <<
    \lower \upper
>>
  \new Staff \with {
    \override Rest #'transparent = ##t
  } \lower
>>
--snip--
I also quickly tried the Dynamics context, but that always showed up Clef and TimeSignature. This is a short test just to show what would be possible ... you will need some more tuning here ;-)

HTH
