In the above I want the lower note to be tied continuously.  As it
stands, there is no tie between the 2nd and 3rd bars where the 2 voices
become one.

I have experimented a lot with invisible notes (as suggested in section
4.7.1 in the Learning Manual) and with additional voices, but I haven't
yet managed to get the result I want.

This is taken from a full score where the violins are divisi.  The
notes continue for a further 10 bars, so I don't want to continue with
up and down stems, which would look very untidy.

Can somebody suggest how I can get the effect I want?

One more example:

%%%

\version "2.19.81"

\new Staff {

  \time 6/8 

  <<

    { \once \override MultiMeasureRest.staff-position = #10

      R2. | r4. e'''~ }

    \\

    { g''2.~ | g''~ }

  >>

 \context Voice = "2" \oneVoice <e''' g''>2.~ | q |

}

%%%

This works because <<{...}\\{...}>> is short for:

<<

  \context Voice = "1" { \voiceOne ... }

  \context Voice = "2" { \voiceTwo ... }

>>
