Hi All,

I am bumping this issue as I am working with Casey and we really need a
solution for this problem. Any help will be much appreciated. Again, it
seems like there is no way to:

force center (vertically) the rests in the staff such that the beams are
pushed out of the way when they are over rests with stemlets.

We have tried both globally with:

\override Score.Rest #'staff-position = #'-0

And by refactoring all the rests to

b'8\rest

The results are the same. As mentioned in Casey's last email, I was
wondering if it is possible to force the starts and ends of a beam to be
of at least a certain height if stems up and below a certain height if
stems down.

Any other solutions also very welcome. This is the end stage of a very
large transcription project for a work by James Tenney and we really
want to get the score out into the world!

Best,

Mike

so without refactoring the entire score (there are 64 of them)?
