Ties are used to make a note value longer, they connect two notes of  
the same name.
Slurs are used to show phrasing, they connect notes of different names.

If I'm understanding correctly, what you want is a~ a and <gis b>~  
<gis b>.

~ is used in lilypond for ties.
) is used in lilypond for slurs.
\) is used in lilypond for phrasing slurs, to have two simultaneous  
slurs in the same voice.
