Re: collision between rest of one voice and the notes of the other voice

[Michael Kiermaier]

Thanks for the answer, that works for me.

Also, I understand the explanation why it is difficult to automatically 
resolve the collisions with multi-measure-rests.
But I hope that it is at least a long time goal of the lilypond developers to 
handle that case automatically.
