Keith, thanks for the pointers, and a nice solution using stemNeutral. >>>>> "K" == Keith E OHara <k-ohara5...@oco.net> writes:

Shouldn't the rests by default be placed where the voice goes in the column - odds up, evens down - regardless of stem-direction? The call to 'get_grob_direction isn't used in the notes+rest case inside rest-collision.cc, and i guess thats why Rest 'direction doesn't apply there.

Is their behaviour vs. 'neutral-direction documented anywhere?
