Nathan,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  Just what I was looking for.
Many classical guitar works have this type of notation.

Hi Charles,

I don't advise doing this because it is possible to interpret the eighth
note as dotted. But if you must, you're looking for
\mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn and \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn. See
