Ok, great! That's exactly what I was looking for.

I'm not sure how to do proper scoring, so my question had several
layers. The answer above is perfect for the first layer (how to do it
with lilypond).
Now for the second layer (musical scoring in general): When the
intro repeats, and just before you loop back, there's a \sustainOn.
Should you indicate \sustainOff at the beginning of the piece?
The third layer is regarding Mutopia's version of Fur Elise: are there
missing sustains in the first movement as I've indicated in the patch
below? If I'm wrong, all of the above is educational, but unnecessary.
:)

No, if it's more correct, I'll send it to contributions@m.o. Changes
like fingering and note colorization are things I imagine wouldn't be
useful to anyone but beginners. Which I would maintain as a separate
branch. If people are interested, I'd be happy to post it. I'll
probably do that anyway, most likely in the form of a git repo.
On that thread, is it possible to create a vertical yellow box the width
of one note, spanning the bass _and_ treble clef? iow, as if I had run
a highlighter vertically down the page. I'm using this as a visual clue
to myself "hey dummy, these two notes need to be played simultaneously"
I found \markup {\filled-box ...} [3], but I'm not sure how to calculate
xext and yext. I'll freely admit this is a lack of rtfm on my part.
However, the docs aren't helping since they don't show the resulting
boxes in relation to a score. It also seems to throw a lot of things
out of whack (failed bar checks and whatnot).
thx,
Jason.
