It can be done, as David K. wrote. However, I want to say that there are good reasons why this isn’t normally done and this is a case where LilyPond’s default behaviour shouldn’t be overridden unless one has good reasons to break the rule in a special instance. “I like it better that way” and “That’s what I’m used to” are (almost) never good reasons.
Also, doing everything to accommodate inexperienced sight-readers can often lead to bad conclusions.
