The following MWE shows that the full bar rests are not shifted as I would have expected in the parallel voices. Bars 5 and 6 print the rests at different heights. Have I missed a property somewhere? I experimented with voiced-position but that didn't affect the full-bar rests.
Alternatively, can some one help me place the markup at the beginning of the bar? Seems eccentric here, but necessary in a multi-staff score.
