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
Here's a new version that keeps the main version in the same Voice context,
which should solve your lyrics problems. Also, it doesn't set any stem
directions,
so both versions will have the stems in the same direction (unless the
pitches are
too different).
\version "2.10.0"
\relative c'{
c d
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
This has been possible in LilyPond for many years. If you want the
alternative pitch printed in the same stave, just typeset them in a
separate temporary voice and reduce the font size. For example:
\version "2.10.0"
\relative c'{
c d e f |
<<
% Main version:
{g g } \\
% Alternative version:
{
Greetings,
I am a new user of LilyPond. I have been attempting to typeset
some vocal music that contains a few notes that have an alternate
pitch with a notehead that is smaller than the preferred pitch.

Hi,
I want to typeset a couple of transcribed songs[1], and many of them
contain variations of short sequences of notes or even single notes.
In the original manuscript, those are set in a smaller type.
Sometimes the variation is put as another, smaller note-head on the
same stem as the main note,
