This particular instance can be fudged using
\relative c' {
\key g \major
dis16[
<< fis
\new Voice \with \voiceTwo \palmMute b,1*0
>>
b16 ais]
}
This uses a visual whole note (to have the Stem omitted) with a duration
scaled to zero and in palmMute NoteHead style. Ugly (and the Midi will
likely be unusable), but it should get the ledger line printed and the
position indicated correctly.
A smoother replacement would likely be a pitched rest (also gets the
ledger line and position as needed) with the stencil replaced by the
triangle. That would be fine for Midi and also a better semantic match.
But more work. Takers?
