I have a hard time imagining what result you expect here.  The chords in
the lower voice are stemmed with a single stem (one voice -> one stem).
The aes-bes chord requires juggling the note heads to fit them on one
stem, so that they are no longer vertically aligned.  How would you
merge the resulting construct with the upper voice?

Do you have a scan or a handwritten version illustrating the desired
result?
