Peter,
A rest can be positioned by using a pitch name, duration, \rest, e.g.,
c8\rest puts an eighth rest where "c" would be (depending on the clef). The
attached example might be clearer.

Subject: Pianostaff 4-part writing and rests
Hello!
I'm a pretty unexperienced Lilypond user. I'm working on the layout of a
small piece. It's basically a hymn written using a piano staff. If both
voices have a rest on the first beat and start on the second beat I get two
quarter note rests. I need it to be just one. I learned how to make a rest
invisible, but that doesn't change the position for the remaining rest.
Is there a easy way of doing this?
Furthermore, the piece ends with just 3 bars on the last line. But i fills
upp the whole page anyway. Is there a way of getting the 3 bars to take up
the same as the bars above? Making a 4th invisible bar!?
Best wishes!
/Peter
