I just engraved a piece for which the standard solutions given in this thread
worked especially badly. There were many 8th notes alternating with 8th
rests (which should be merged by Lilypond, but can't be automatically), so
switching back and forth between a polyphonic structure and \oneVoice was
not workable.

Tedious to enter and tedious to read, but it should work.


A standard manual solution, not yet mentioned in this thread
 - defines a sequential music variable for just the shared 'r'
 - includes this as \oneVoice in parallel with the other voices
 - all these other voices have 's' where the shared rests are

Features:
 - this variable can be thought of as associated with the staff
 - it can be left untransposed while the other voices are transposed
 - that way, the positioning produced by using '\rest' is stable
 - none of the other voices has a special role regarding shared rests

You may find this somewhat tedious to enter, but it is a lot easier to read.



Cheers,
Robin
