try something like this:

\notes \relative c'' {
  % SNIP
  % NOTES BELOW ORIGINAL NOTE
  << { c1 } \\ { \tiny s4 b a b } >>
  % OR FOR NOTES HIGHER THAN ORIGINAL NOTE
  << { \tiny s4 d e d } \\ { c1 } >>
  % SNIP
}

try the two snippets, and read the section in the manual on polyphony
{Lilypond|Notation Manual|Polyphony}.
