Not quite.  Gould makes an exception for semibreves with adjacent
notes; in this case, they should be aligned as if they had stems:

\version "2.15.9"

\new Staff \relative c' {
  \cadenzaOn
  \set Staff.implicitTimeSignatureVisibility = #all-invisible
  \set Staff.explicitClefVisibility = #all-invisible
  \set Staff.instrumentName = #"LilyPond"
  <f g>4 q1
  <c' d e>4 q\breve
  <<
    {
      <b c d>4 q1
      <d e>4 q1
    }
    \\
    {
      <f, d c>4 q1
      <b c>4 q1
    }
  >>
}

\new Staff \relative c' {
  \cadenzaOn
  \set Staff.implicitTimeSignatureVisibility = #all-invisible
  \set Staff.explicitClefVisibility = #all-invisible
  \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Gould, p. 50"
  <f g>4 q1
  <c' d e>4 q\breve
  <<
    {
      <b c d>4 q1
      <d e>4 q1
    }
    \\
    {
      <f, d c>4 q1
      \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1.4
      <b c>4
      \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1.3
      q1
    }
  >>
}

I can't see anything relevant in Stone; Read is a bit vague (but I
think he basically agrees with Gould on this).

Cheers,
Neil
