In Lilypond, braces don't indicate scopes, they just say that their 
contents are in sequential order.

Have you tried `\once`, as in `{ \once \tiny \once \voiceOne \once omit 
Flag bes,,8 }`? (I'm not sure whether `\once {\tiny \voiceOne \omit 
Flag}` works.)

You could also use `\tweak`, but that's a bit more complicated.
