Hi Michiel

Chopin is notorious for this kind of notation, and you do seem to have found a 
construction where Lily's standard approach fails to reproduce what Chopin 
wanted.  You can achieve the desired appearance with a bit of subterfuge and at 
the expense of a warning with:

fixme-section = {
  \voiceTwo
  <<
    { 
      \once \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn
      <<c'8 c,2*1/4[>> d8 e d]
    }
    \new Voice { 
      \voiceThree  \once \omit Stem <c c'>2
    }
  >>
}

I'd like to see a cleaner solution though - this is really a last-resort hack.

  Subject: Can't seem to merge note groups


  Hi all,


  I've been trying to solve a markup problem from a section of Chopin's Ballade 
No.1, which I'm typesetting to teach myself Lilypond. It's going pretty well 
but I'm having a problem with note merging. Here's an example of what I want - 
http://i.imgur.com/c2ZzfUm.png - and here's a simplified version of what I have 
so far - http://lilybin.com/64zsk1/3


  I just can't seem to find out how to make this work, although it works just 
fine when not using a note group (e.g. just c8 and c2 instead of <c c'>). For 
example, the main theme also has a half note merged into eighth notes, and I 
was able to get that working with this method.


  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. If the method is significantly 
different from merging single notes, it might be good to have an example up in 
the manual. I'd be willing to write up an example using the real music as 
subject, if I can understand how this works.
