How to double in octaves

[Daniel Ashton]

Hi,

I need to double a bass line in octaves.  So far I'm using this:

  \context Staff = bass {
    \clef bass
    \notes < \transpose c' { \bassline }
             \transpose c  { \bassline } >
  }

However, this does not join the stems.

Is there a better way?  I'm not anxious to convert each note in the bass
line into an octave chord.

Thanks,

Daniel
