How to Remove rests with multiple voices?
I've been transcribing a piece for a while and it contains multiple voices in the piece, which is fine, the only issue is the the fact that it looks really messy and its really hard to read. Does anyone know how to make the rests not visible? Or is there a way to just make everything in one voice while still keeping it the way it is?
(the first image is mine and the second image is what I want it to look like)

You say you are "transcribing", from what - another printed score, or audio? Most of those rests are totally necessary for reading the rhythms correctly as notated - hiding them will make it far harder to understand the rhythm.
The real issue here is, the rhythms themselves are not written in a way that really makes that much sense to begin with. For instance, measure three, what's the point of having a different duration for the two voices on beat 4? Or in measure 6, for taking what appears to be a single inner voice starting on middle C, and putting some notes on the top staff, others on the bottom, or for notating the bass voice on beat 3 as an eighth instead of a dotted quarter and combining with a dotted quarter in the inner voice (or making both eighths, or both quarters)?
The point being, once you figure out how to represent the rhythms in a simpler manner, the rests mostly take care of themselves.
