thanks for your answer, keith (and all the others who responded). your  
code works well to get what i want, and i see there are other  
solutions. but it seems that all of them involve somehow "cheating"  
the pitches, am i right?. in other words, "what you see is not what  
you get", meaning that the midi file would have the notes at the wrong  
octave. it's just as well, i don't care much for the midi file, but i  
would have preferred a version with the correct pitches. it seems that  
this is not possible with lilypond, right?

(BTW, if you were puzzled by the code i posted, i didn't realize until  
later that it corresponded to a different version of this passage than  
the attached image. sorry.)

best,
