actually, Lily apparently already provides a handy mechanism for explicit
vertical placement of rests: instead of writing r16, I write a16\rest
(replacing the a with whatever pitch I prefer to use), and the rest is
placed at that position. It's like the second item in the Reference for
rests, ยง1.2.2.
However, now I have the issue that the stems aren't lengthened accordingly,
so that they collide with the rests. Is there an \override for that?
Cheers,
A
