In the meantime I also tried something. Mayby I did not get your problem,
but why can't you just stack the notes in a < > construct? I tried it with
the code below (much of it is just copied from the allemande-cello.ly and
-urtext.ly of the examples provided in the lily tarball) which gives with
lily 1.2.17 on a solaris machine quite satisfactorily the first bar of
your jpeg example. Only the noteheads of the g (next-to-next-to-last note
of the bar) should be joined, but that's the same as with the \times
solution, I understand from your reply. Strangely enough, the other 3
notes (e, b, e) *are* appropriately joined (with the code below). 

Cheers,
