To quote: "1) How do I get the desired result, which is one bar with the
first 2 crotchets synchronised with the bass, and the rest
unsynchronised?"

Can you explain what you mean by "unsynchronised"?  Stuff just doesn't
add up.  Your vocal line ends with a full bar rest, your accompagniment
ends with a half rest.  You want stuff to have synchronisation but be
unsynchronised.

You can insert \skip 8*14 (for example) in the bass but I have no idea
whatsoever what you actually want.
