as suggested by caagr98, cluster can be extremely helpful and at the same
time easy to use:


% ---------------------------------------------------
music = \relative c'{ c8 d e g c g e c }

{
  \new Staff
  <<
    \new Voice \music
    \new Voice \makeClusters \music
  >>
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \override ClusterSpanner.color = #red
    \override ClusterSpanner.layer = #-2
    \override ClusterSpanner.X-offset = #0.5
    % \override ClusterSpanner.padding = #0.5
  }
}
% ---------------------------------------------------

I hope this helps. 

Cheers, 
Klaus
