My point was, if \\ did the right thing, your example would  
automagically expand to become

\version "2.13.0"

\score {
  \new Staff {
    \time 4/4
    \relative g' { g4 << { \voiceOne g } \context Voice =  
"2" { \voiceTwo d } >> \oneVoice g2 }
  }
  \addlyrics{ a b c }
}

which works fine, if I understand what you want. So I was wondering  
if Trevor was referring to something else...

Kieren.
