For which instrument are you writing? If it's guitar or a similar plucked string instrument, you can just write "let ring" (ctrl+l, I believe) over the first three notes), but on a piano, you would have to instruct the performer to use the sostenuto pedal and hold down the first three notes. I can't currently think of a not-sloppy way to do this (perhaps it's really simple, but I'm no expert on piano notation, seeings as I don't play piano), but I'm sure that a wiser member on this forum can (or at least would have a better idea than mine).

(I used a lot of parenthesis in this response).

Just listen to "Harmpit" and tell me that it doesn't make your bowels shake at least a little. I dare you.
