lilypond questions

I am typing in Erik Satie's Gymnopedies (piano music) and I have a few
questions about lilypond:

1) In the original, there is a middle "voice" which contains chords on
   both the treble and bass clefs (to make it easier to identify notes
   several lines above or below the staff).  I'm not sure how to enter
   this into lilypond, or if maybe there is a better alternative.  For
   example, see http://plover.net/~thumper/gymnop.png for a bit that I
   scanned in.

2) If I want to have an extra voice for just one measure, I would like
   to be able to do something like <{e2.} {r4 b' e}>, but this gives a
   warning about adding note head to incompatible stem (I assume it is
   talking about the rest).  The output looks mostly fine, but what do
   I do to fix the warning?

3) How do I enter phrasing marks (curved lines above the staff)?  This
   is probably obvious, but I cannot find anything in the manual about
   it.  I assume I'm not just supposed to use slur marks?

4) In the title, I'd like to have a bit be superscripted.  I am no TeX
   expert, so I'm not sure how to do this.  I tried entering math mode
   but couldn't get it to work quite right.  "1$^{ere}$ Gymnopedie" or
   so is what I'd like.  I tried throwing backslashes at it, but still
   no luck.
