I am having difficulty controlling the vertical postioning of rests in a DrumStaff which has several DrumVoices representing different instruments.
The easy method of using a note-name followed by '\rest' doesn't seem to work in a DrumStaff. I have tried, for instance, 'sn8\rest', but this produces a syntax error. The other method I tried is overriding Rest.voiced-position and MultiMeasureRest.voiced-position in the relevant Voice context, but this seems to work inconsistently - something else is overriding it. And in the case of the MultiMeasureRest nothing I do will move a whole- bar rest below the bottom line of the staff, even though in the same voice minim rests are being placed one or two lines below the staff by Lilypond itself. How do I take full control of the vertical positioning of these rests? David
