If you don't care about getting correct MIDI, you could use a trick to get the two notes in the same voice:

<< \clef F { r2 r4 s } \\ { r2 e2*1/2^( \voiceOne c'4) }

Janek

With a big thank you to Janek, this is what I've managed. There might be room to adjust spacing a bit, and I'm sure I need to review the way I use Voices, but it gets me over the hump, and I can whip up a MIDI version easily enough.
I continue to be astounded at the power, not only of lilypond, but especially of the combination with the user community!

Cheers, Colin

Code follows:
%<----------%<-----------------

\version "2.17.30"

\language "english"

\header { tagline = ##f}

celloI = \relative c {

<<

{ s2 r4 s s1 s2 r4 s s1 b2\rest \stemDown d b4\rest s2.

}

\\

{

d2\rest e2*1/2_( \voiceOne c'4)\oneVoice r2 a8 (c b4) r2 e,2*1/2_( \voiceOne a4) \oneVoice

r2 e8 (g fs4) \stemUp a2.^(b4) c1*1/4^( \voiceOne e,2. )

}

>>

}

celloIPart = \new Staff {

\clef bass \celloI }

\score {

\celloIPart

\layout { }

}

and the result is attached.
