Bob,

The easiest way to do this is to specify the position of the rest by specifying a pitch (a line or space) to align the rest to, and then converting to a rest by using \rest.

% measure  16:
  <<
     { d''2. \rest^\markup { \bold \large Fine }  }  \\
     { a,2.  }
  >>   \bar "||"

There are other ways as well. See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Writing-rests#Rests

Regards,

David

My score is coming along nicely. But I am not satisfied with the positioning of the rests in the upper voice. Here is an example. The placement of the dotted half rest here just looks too high to me. How can I move it so that it is lower?

% measure  16:
   <<
      { r2.^\markup { \bold \large Fine }  }  \\
      { a,2.  }
   >>   \bar "||"
