There will be other problems like this in the bars to come, each needing a special effort to overcome, usually in an unsatisfactory way. This is because you are trying to put overlapping durations into a single voice.
Try starting again, but this time using several voices.
A clear example of doing this for guitar was quoted [1] here recently. See, for example, how the bass line keeps sounding while other notes are being plucked. And it shows that you needn't stop at bass/middle/top; you even can put other things (like dynamics) into separate voices.
The things for overlapping durations, e.g.
- tieWaitForNote
- the polyphonic construct << ... \\ ... >>
- laisserVibrer
are still available of course. But if you have sufficient voices you will rarely need them. There are occasionally new problems to do with coordination between the several voices but these are a lot easier to solve.

Thanks a lot! I'll dive into the multiple voices stuff...

I made an quick start with it, check the last entry of Signe: http://draft.wikilily.org/wiki/index.php/Signe
