Thanks for the additional suggestions. The variation of your polyphony syntax was close, but the two stems did not merge together because of the offset from the smaller notehead on the alternate pitch. The example called grob-tweak.ly in the Regression Test document was exactly what I was lookin

Mats, Thank you for your suggestion. When I tried using that syntax, I found two problems. First, the alternate note has a separate stem from the preferred pitch. The alternate note needs to use the same stem as the preferred pitch, as when using the chord operator < >. The second problem that
