Just realized another issue. Is there a way to tell Lilypond where in the 
staff a voice’s rests should go? While Phil’s guidance to use \voiceOne and 
\voiceTwo took care of the warnings, it also means that the rests from one 
of the voices that had previously been centered in the staff now sit low in 
the staff because Lilypond thinks that they should be since they are in a 
lower voice. However, for the purposes of this piece, it would be nice to be 
able to say that this voice should ignore other voices for positioning.

==================================================

This isn't very hard to find in the documentation.  It's what I just did. 
Either use explicit positioning as you have been doing, or something like

\override Rest #'staff-position = #0
