Re: common rests between two voices in one staff

[Jule Slootbeek]

what i do is use a third voice for the rests

soprano =
        \notes
                {
                        c4  s c c
                }

alto =
        \notes
                {
                        e4 s c c
                }

rests =
        \notes
                {
                        s4 r s s
                }

score{
        \context Staff = women
        <
                \soprano
                \rests
                \alto

something along those lines works for me.
and of course if there's a rest in only one voice you can just put that 
in the individual voice.
