In PMX, there is a blank rest, which acts just like a rest but is
invisible, for example rb2 . You could use this in one line of music on
the staff. In the other line, if you use the normal rest r2, by default
it will be moved up or down from the vertical center depending whether
it is in the upper or lower line of music in the staff. You can alter
its vertical position by appending a signed integer. The integer
represents the vertical offset from the normal (single-line-per-staff)
default position. So to get it centered vertically you would use r2+0.
I don't know if this translates directly into M-Tx or not.
