Here's a small example of what I seem often find desirable to do, but
can't:

--------
first = \context Staff \notes\relative c' {
      <
      \context Voice = vone {
       d1-\thumb }
       \context Voice = vtwo {
       \property Voice.basicStemProperties \push  #'direction = \d
       \property Voice.basicSlurProperties \push #'direction = \d
       a'8-\thumb( b-1  a  b  a  b  a  )b
       }
}

\score{
        \notes \context Voice {
           \time 4/4;
           \clef treble;
           d=#1;
           \first \bar "||";
           d=#-1;
           \first \bar "||";
        }
}
