Crap, these two questions are related to each other. I made a mistake when
copying the part into the reduced part (I didn't copy and paste) and it was
always supposed to be B flat in the lower note. (That said, I don't think
that changes much about my "problem" or the solutions. At most it might
speak slightly more favorably toward my \stemDown answer.)

(As for the following measure, assuming you're talking about the one where
the main line goes 'd8 e fs d fs a4' at the top of the treble staff in
double stop with the A below middle C, I'm undecided. (Sorry for the
English note names; I got into the habit of using that and from then on
could never remember -es/-is being sharp/flat.) That obviously *isn't*
playable. Answers I'm considering include dropping the lower notes
entirely, playing open A instead of open D, or playing the A an octave up
on the D string. I need to play around with this.)

I put a screenshot of the relevant part of the score at
https://i.imgur.com/3gMB5iP.png so it can be seen in context, in case that
helps. I can certainly leave sleeping dogs lie if you think it looks fine
and no one else chimes in. :-) (I haven't yet fixed the typo in this
version, so there will be a couple wrong notes.) It's laid out for letter
paper; there are eight systems on that page.

Thanks a lot for your feedback, by the way; I appreciate it! I'm only an
occasional user of Lilypond, but this mailing list is always so
responsive...
