Is there any reason why you've used the "right" voice for the e's in the
lower staff? Would it not be simpler to just have these as chords in the
left hand voice, and let Lily handle the ties for you? That way, you
don't
need to set the voice for the upper staff at all, and the rests appear
centred.
That doesn't tie from the octave E's in the top staff (end of m1) over to
the octave E's in the bottom staff (beginning of m2). This is specifically
the (now nonexistent) tie that I'm asking about.
I had used the voice in the hopes that keeping the notes "officially" in
the same staff would make it possible to have the ties. But that didn't
work either, so you're right, simplifying and taking out the cruft is
better, as below.
