First of all, my thanks to both David K and Robert S for
their quick responses!

                    I wish the word "snippet" were available to
                    denote the above.  But Snippet is now a
                    well-established term in the copious Lilypond
                    documentation.  So I had to say "extract".

          <G>  Not the above excerpt, for sure.  But the
          part from which this is taken compiles fine;
          I've printed out the resulting .pdf and friends
          here in Silver Spring and in Los Angeles have
          played them.

        <G> No I wouldn't.  I'll bet almost all Lilypond users
        have heard of Bach, but why should readers without
        special needs or interest have Bach Dover scores?  But I
        would expect tho folks who do have such scores to easily
        recognize my problem from the "extract" that I gave, and
        reproduce above.  It is a notation that I've seen often
        elsewhere, but at the moment I can cite only the Bach
        Gesellschaft editions.

          I am Attaching a .jpg of a small chunk of a download that
          I got from IMSLP, that illustrates the Bach Gesellschaft
          practice.  I am fairly sure that the  Mailman SW will
          strip this Attachment, but I hope it will go through to
          Messrs K and S.   If anyone else here is interested,
          lemme know; and I'll be glad to send this small .jpg.

Again thanks, and I hope for illumination from any/all available
experts.

Alan
