Those are not parallel voices but parallel music resulting in a single
voice.  To get two voices, you'd write << ... \\ ... >> rather than
<< ... ... >> .

That's important since you also only get a single stem for parallel
notes, and overrides etc in one part apply equally to the other.

I think this was actually what you wanted, I just have to object to your
analysis.
