Why do you have a separate <<{...} \\ {...} >> for each bar?
(I agree that it might make the input more readable). Otherwise,
you can save some typing by
lower = \relative c
{
\clef bass
\key b \major
\time 6/8
<< { \slurDown \override Rest #'staff-position = #2
r4 <d b'>8 ( <g d'>4. ) |
r4 <d b'>8 ( <g d'>4. ) |
r4 <es a>8 ( <g c>4. ) } \\
{ g,2. | g2. | g2. |} >>
}
Notice also how you can specify the position of the rest.

The layout in the lower staff looks now as expected. But it's annoying to
write \slurDown and f4\rest for each measure. Is there any scheme script
that sets the slur direction and the rest position/distance/offset/what-else
for a lot of measures?
