\override Staff.Rest #'staff-position e.g., \version "2.13.29" restMusic = \relative c' { c d r e f r g a r b c2 } \markup { "Default:"} \score { \restMusic } \markup { "Transposed (rests stay in default position):"} \score { \transpose c f' \restMusic } \markup { "Different Voice and/or cue (rests" \bold { not } "in deafult position):"} \score { { \voiceOne \restMusic } } \markup { "Different Voice and/or cue" \bold { with override } "(rests in explicit position):"} abrest = \override Voice.Rest #'staff-position = #-5 \score { { \voiceOne \abrest \restMusic } } Hope this helps!
