Hi Mark!
Generally I work around this using hidden notes or notes with hidden stems. In
your example I think you want a tie rather than a slur (since it’s a held
note), but they both work in the same way with regard to voices.
In your example it could look like:
\version "2.22"
lowerA = \new Voice \relative c'
{ \voiceOne
s2 \once \hideNotes b2~ | b2 f2\rest |
}
lowerB = \new Voice \relative c
{ \voiceTwo
f2\rest b2 | c,2 s2 |
}
\new Staff <<
\clef bass
\lowerA
\lowerB
>>
Best
