Since this has been proposed by two people without any further
motivation or explanation: \oneVoice will revert all the settings
that specify that stems, slurs, ties and some other things should
be directed upwards for the upper voice and downwards for the lower
voice. If you only want the rests to be centered but keep the
stems/slurs/ties/... with separate directions for the two voices,
you could do a
\revert Rest #'direction
instead.
