I've run into this or a similar problem before. Cultivate the habit of using separate, explicit voice constructs: \new Voice = "upper" \relative c'' { ... } % upper voice \new Voice = "lower" \relative c'' { ... } % lower voice A layman's paraphrase of the error message might be that, while you are manipulating stem directions and pitched rests to *simulate* the appearance of separate voices, Lily cannot reliably determine which voice(s) the rests belong to.
