rest position, polyphony

[Germain G. Ivanoff-Trinadtzaty]



Hi,

I'm setting polyphonic vocal music.

Same noteheads from different voices are engraved on the same place. This is ok.

Same rests are not. Bad for me.

 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.11.22"

TenorOneNotes = \relative c' { c4 d e a, | d2   r }
TenorTwoNotes = \relative c' { a4 b c a  | gis2 r }

\score
{
  \new Staff
  <<
   \clef "G_8"
   \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup{ \column {"Т1. " "Т2. "} }
   \new Voice = "T1" { \voiceOne \TenorOneNotes }
   \new Voice = "T2" { \voiceTwo \TenorTwoNotes }
  >>
  \layout {} 

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

 

To have rests printed on the same place, I modify source notes in this way :

TenorOneNotes = \relative c' { c4 d e a, | d2   b\rest }
TenorTwoNotes = \relative c' { a4 b c a  | gis2 s }
This is not convenient for me, because it prevents to produce different versions of music (ex: swapping 1st and 2nd voice).

 

Would you know another way to get rests merged without introducing layout tricks in the music ?

 

Thanks in advance
