You can write the drone notes as a separate abc voice.
Unfortunately, BarFly and abcm2ps are the currently only abc 
applications that allow you to notate multiple voices on a single staff. 
Here's an example how you can do it with BarFly. Maybe some abcm2ps user 
here can give the syntax for abcm2ps.

My program HARMONY will soon allow import of multi-voice abc files (this is
currently under development), and it can display multiple voices in the Bass
clef.
I will let you know when it is ready.

Hi All,

Please excuse a novice question.   I have some music where I'd like to 
put

other
note is cumbersome and doesn't really represent what's being played.  
Does
the current abc have a syntax to do this?
No.  You can sort of do it in the way that Frank suggested, by putting
in another voice filled with tied notes, but it's a bit cumbersome,
and complicates the abc unnecessarily.
Some abc player programs offer you the option to play a drone while
playing the abc (abcMus, BarFly and maybe others) but there's no way
to write this into the abc.
Perhaps there should be an official syntax for this, something like:

%%drones C G

or

K:Hp drones A A A,
