Hi Peter,

thanks for the code, though, without version. ;)

1) I don't like pitched rests, they will cause problems when transposing.
I'd recommend to use
\override Rest #'staff-position = ...
or
override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = ...

2) To stop the warning use \voiceOne, \voiceTwo etc not \stemUp, \stemDown

My suggestion:

\version "2.16.2"

OboePart= {

  \time 2/4

  {
    <<
      \relative c'
      {
        \voiceTwo \repeat unfold 9 {
                % maybe:
                % \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-2
                R2
        } |
      }
      \new CueVoice
      \relative c''
      {
        \voiceOne
        % maybe:
        %\override Rest #'staff-position = #0
        r4 r8. a16 | c8. b16 c8 d | e4 e8. c16 | e8 r16 d d8 b | g4. g8 |
        c r16 c b8 a | g8. g16 g8 g | b4 a~ | a2|
      }
    >>

  }
}

\new Staff \OboePart


HTH,
