I recommend you browsing the manual directly.  It may even
be installed on your local computer together with LilyPond
and hopefully correspond to the installed version.  The web
site contains documentation for various versions.

I would rather do << \melody \\ \bass \\ \accompany >> or
even better give explicit \voiceOne, \voiceTwo...  commands
to arrange stem directions and the like.  Also,

            \override Staff.NoteCollision
                #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
            \override Staff.NoteCollision
                #'merge-differently-dotted = ##t

is often useful for guitar scores.

You probably mean <as c> <as c> instead.
