Subject: Multi Voice Rests - Not Showing


Hi everyone,

I have been trying to get this to work but with no success. Here is a 
synopsis of what is happening:

1. I have 2 voices that I am combining on one staff.
2. There are differing rests for each voice.
3. Depending on which voice I list first in partcombine will be the voice 
which displays the rest, if that makes sense.
4. I tried specifying the rest position for each thinking that perhaps it 
was a collision problem.
5. By only displaying one voice, the rests show correctly.

From what I can gather the default behavior should be to display the rest 
but it doesn’t for. I would appreciate any advice. Here is the markup:


\version "2.18.2-1"  % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.
\language "english"

upperA = \relative c' {
\numericTimeSignature
\key e \major % -- Change Key as needed.
\time 4/4
\override Voice.Accidental.stencil = ##f
\override Voice.AccidentalCautionary.stencil = ##f
\stemUp e2 d'2\rest |
}

upperB = \relative c' {
\override Voice.Accidental.stencil = ##f
\override Voice.AccidentalCautionary.stencil = ##f
\stemDown <a c>2 g4\rest \stemDown <a c>4 |
}


\score {
<<
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \with { printPartCombineTexts = ##f } {
\partcombine \upperA \upperB
}
> >
}

========================================================

Does this work as you want? (note positioning possibly notwithstanding):

\version "2.18.2"
upperA = \relative c' {
e2 r2 |
}
upperB = \relative c' {
<a c>2 r4 <a c>4 |
}
\score {
<< { \upperA }
\\
{ \upperB}
> >
}
