I didn't know this sonata; it looks awesome! Do you plan to post it on Mutopia?

yes indeed; why don't you just add an invisible second voice? Here's a
version that works:


\version "2.11.27"
\include "english.ly"
  upper = \relative c'' {
       \clef treble

       e[ gs \grace fs16 e8 ds cs b ]  \bar "||"       % bar 62
       \key eflat \major bf8[cf' bf af g  f ]  |       % bar 63
       g8[ bf \grace af16 g8 f  ef d ]         |       % bar 64
       ef[d ef f g af ]                                    |       % bar 65

       { \stemDown      cf,2.                  | s8  }    % bar 67,68

  }

    lower = \relative c {
       \clef bass
       \key e \major
       \time 3/4

       cs8[bs cs ds e fs ]                             |       % bar 61

    }

    \score {

       \layout { }

       \midi { }
    }
