Oh.  That's going to be a puzzler for all men, I guess.  Quite unusual.

That's a question for the composer, not the engraver.  And it is legitimate for a composer to request unison.

Really hoping that LilyPond will be a suitable platform for experimenting with stuff like this, I'm a well-experienced programmer and musician, but pretty new to LilyPond.
