Re: Hello! Complicated newbie questions!

How about this ?
Maybe works for v2.6 series.

\version "2.7.12"

\relative c
\new Staff {
  \clef bass
  { c4 c c c f f e2
   d4 d c c b g << c2 \\ 
                   \tiny 
                   \once \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
                   c,>> 
    g'4 e << {
      \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
      \override NoteHead #'extra-offset = #'(-0.3 . 0.0)
      c' b 
    } \\ { 
      \tiny
      \revert NoteHead #'extra-offset 
      \revert Stem #'transparent
      \override Stem #'lengths = #'(7.0  4.5)
      \stemUp
      c, b 
    } >>
  }
}
