Since you are going to have bar lines that do not line up, you need to 
follow the advice in this post[1] by Urs.

Otherwise, it should be easy enough to change the relative duration of 
the leading rests using the scaling operator.  That is, "r1*2" or 
"r1*1/2".  You will need to have a corresponding spacer rest (with 
appropriate scaling) on each staff to compensate for the variable 
lengths at the start so that the final bar lines will line up.
