Welcome to LilyPond! :-)
It's a bit hard to tell exactly what happened in your case, since
LilyPond should take care of reasonable positioning of the rests
automatically. While the solutions given by others (forcing rest
positions) should work, they are "hackish" in a sense since they force
you hard-code things that should better be left to the layout engine.
I entered some bars of your example in a way that is compilable with 2.16.2:
\version "2.16.2"
\layout {
\autoBeamOff
}
\new Staff
<<
\relative bes' {
\key bes \major
bes4 bes \oneVoice r8. \voiceOne a16 bes8. c16 |
d4 d \oneVoice r8. \voiceOne f,16 f8. f16 |
g4 es' d c |
bes2. \oneVoice r8.
\bar "|."
} \\
\relative c' {
cis4 cis s8. r16 r4 |
f4 f s8. f16 f8. f16 |
es4 g f es |
d2. s8.
}
>>
But note that 2.16.2 is really really really old (released at the
beginning of 2013), and while entering the above code, I sorely missed
the many simplifications made possible in more current versions: Now we
may replace
\oneVoice r8. \voiceOne
by
\once\oneVoice r8.
But what's even better: Now we have the Merge_rests_engraver that allows
us to enter each voice using the proper rests!
\version "2.22"
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\consists Merge_rests_engraver
}
\autoBeamOff
}
\new Staff
<<
\relative bes' {
\key bes \major
bes4 bes r8. a16 bes8. c16 |
d4 d r8. f,16 f8. f16 |
g4 es' d c |
bes2. r8.
\bar "|."
} \\
\relative c' {
cis4 cis r8. r16 r4 |
f4 f r8. f16 f8. f16 |
es4 g f es |
d2. r8.
}
>>
By the way: I thought a bit about the first bar of my example: I
actually would prefer writing cis4 cis r2 in the alto, but I admit that
this actually might need some manual improvement of the rest positions
in order to be perfectly sight-readable:
\version "2.22"
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\consists Merge_rests_engraver
}
\autoBeamOff
}
\new Staff
<<
\relative bes' {
\key bes \major
bes4 bes \tweak Y-offset 0 r8. a16 bes8. c16 |
d4 d r8. f,16 f8. f16 |
g4 es' d c |
bes2. r8.
\bar "|."
} \\
\relative c' {
cis4 cis \tweak Y-offset -3.5 r2 |
f4 f r8. f16 f8. f16 |
es4 g f es |
d2. r8.
}
>>
)
Of course I do not no the reasons the folks at hymnary.org have for
insisting on using an antique version of LilyPond. If they need help
updating their old scores for use with current versions on LilyPond, I'd
be confident they get all the help they need on this mailing list.

Latest lilypond git master creating PDF 1.4 files instead of 1.7
Hi all, For a long time I have been using a local build of lilypond cloned from git, IIRC around 2.21.0 or thereabouts. Today, on a whim, I decided to update lilypond to the latest git master. After recompiling everything, lilypond started producing version 1.4 PDF files instead of version 1.7 like it used to. The resulting file is very slow to load or view with my local PDF reader, which makes it very difficult to work with. How do I coax lilypond to produce PDF 1.7 files again? I'm not 100% sure it's lilypond's fault; it could be something else in my environment that changed, perhaps one of lilypond's dependencies? But I'm at a complete loss as to where to start looking. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! T -- Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

Normally, LilyPond avoids such collisions, as you can see
from this example:
\version "2.16.2"
\new Staff <<
{ \voiceOne c'16 }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo r16 }
>>
So the question is why this is not happening here. There
is probably something interfering with voice handling in
your code. Could you provide a compilable example demonstrating
the problem? Have a look at
http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.fr.html
for inspiration.
I should specify I’m on version 2.16.2. It’s for work, and that’s the
version they need.
We rarely meet people (visibly) using LilyPond at work,
so if you're comfortable sharing that, I at least
would be interested to know whom you're working for!
Best regards,
Jean

Thank you, Jean! The first option with the backslashes worked perfectly.

Hello all,
I am typing the lyrics to a hymn, and it has the line: The cry “To
arms!” is heard afar and near. How do I do those quotations without

Hi,
I assume your problem is about something like this:
\version "2.22.1"
{ c'1 c' }
\addlyrics { "To arms" }
where you want the quotes to appear as part of the
words "To" and "arms". In the example shown above,
they group the two words together, making them a
single syllable (see [1]).
To add these quote marks,
- enclose each word in quotes, to enable a parsing mode
that has string-specific features,
- add a backslash before the quotes you want to include
literally, to 'escape' them so that they will be
treated as part of the string without ending the string
as they would normally do.
This technique is explained at [2]. The code becomes:
{ c'1 c' }
\addlyrics { "\"To" "arms\"" }
That being said, an attractive option would be to use curly
quotes. These characters are separate from straight quotes,
so they don't have synctactic meaning to LilyPond. Also, they
render much nicer in the output.
{ c'1 c' }
\addlyrics { “To arms” }
Cheers, and -- welcome on this list!

Depends on where you want the copyright to show up. For example at the
bottom of a page:
\version "2.22.0"
\paper {
oddFooterMarkup = "Footer on odd pages"
evenFooterMarkup = "Footer on even pages"
% % also possible:
% oddFooterMarkup = "Footer for all pages"
% evenFooterMarkup = \oddFooterMarkup
}
{ \repeat unfold 1000 c' 4 }
