I thought I had tried the following with unsatisfactory results; 
however, it now works:

\version "2.0.1"
\include "paper16.ly"
\include "nederlands.ly"
Global = \notes {\key g\major \time 3/4}

TOP = \notes \relative c''  {
                \partial 8 \skip 8
                \bar empty
          <<  \scriptUp {  r4 a a} \\
             \scriptDown  { \grace cis,8 d2.} >>
  }

BOT = \notes \relative c {
                \partial 8 \skip 8
           r4 <d c'> <d c'>
  }

\score {\notes {
        \context PianoStaff <<
                \context Staff = "up" <<
                        \Global \clef treble
                \context Voice=VoiceI \TOP
                >>
                \context Staff = "down" <<
                        \Global \clef bass
                        \context Voice=VoiceI \BOT
                >>
        >>
        }
\paper { raggedright = ##t }

}
