I ended up using Nick Payne's solution with a slight modification.  I
use pitch specific rests.  Without them the rests look a bit unnatural
as they all end up at the same height on the staff but adjusting their
height with pitch fixes that and keeps them adjusted if being transposed.

\version "2.16.0"

mus = \relative {
  <<
    {
      d16[ s8. e16]
    }
    \\
    {
      s16 e\rest e8\rest s16 }
  >>
  r r8
}


\relative {
  \mus
  \transpose c e \mus
}
