In this case, I would go for two separate voices, with separate stem directions to make it easier to read. For example:
\score{\notes\relative c'{ \time 3/4 \partial 4 c4 | <{e4. f8 g4 | d4. ( e8 f ) d | c2. |} \\ {g2. ~ | g ~ | g ~ | g ~ |} > }} See the section on Polyphony in the manual. /Mats > Thanks Graham for the pointer to the "Thread" message.
