Please look at this:

 

\version "2.16.0"

 

global = {

  \key c \major

  \numericTimeSignature

  \time 3/8

}

bassVoice = \relative c {

  \global

<< { \stemDown g4.} \\ { \override Stem #'direction = #UP r8 < c e g > <d f g > } >>

}

\score {

  \new Staff  { \clef bass }

  \layout { }

}

 

The eighth rest should be above the “g.” What did I incorrectly code?

When creating voices implicitly with the << {...} \\ {...} >> structure, the first voice context is "1" and the second "2". "1" is considered the upper voice and has stems up and rests above, "2" has stems down and rests below. So reverse the two contexts, as below. But it would be better to explicitly create the voices. See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices:

\version "2.16.0"

global = {
  \key c \major
  \numericTimeSignature
  \time 3/8
}

bass = \relative c {
  <<
    { r8 <c e g> <d f g> }
    \\
    { g,4. }
  >>
}

\score {
  \new Staff {
    \clef bass
    \global
    \bass
  }
  \layout { }
}
