the right hand of one particular measure has "bf2." and "d2 f8 bf"
(this is 3/4 time).
How to engrave this? Do I need distinct voices for this?
Yes.
These voices must be made to run simultaneously. Use << >> brackets.
That way, the durations in one voice don't interfere with the durations
in the other voice.
This is shown in the Notation Reference
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices#-Explicitly-instantiating-voices
but that example doesn't have any chords.
I've attached a snippet which combines single notes and chords in
different situations.
Cheers,
