I decided to go with Tao's and Eluze's suggestion, first creating an
extra voice for the upper second bass and then tweaking stem lengths
and force-hshifting notecolumns to mimic chords. I also starred the
issue Jay linked to, as I really think this should be something
working out of the box.

^( worked as intended, but in this case, despite Gould, I wanted to
direct the slurs down to not interfere with the first bass melody. I
also tried \slurDown but it didn't seem to have an effect on ^(.

Thanks for all the replies.
