Tying notes in dissimilar chords

[Don Blaheta]

I am transcribing a line for piano.  The following gives the right note
layout:

      <d g d'>1 ~ << {<d d'>1} \\ {<g cs>2 <fs c'>2} >>

but it doesn't draw the ties (there should be three of them).  The
problem is, as soon as I change it to something that will draw ties,
that first column of whole notes gets knocked out of line.  If I just
set them as totally independent voices, *nothing* lines up vertically;
I can compromise with something like 

      << {<d d'>1 ~ <d d'>} \\ {g1 ~ <g cs>2 <fs c'>2} >>

and then I get all my ties, and many things line up, but not everything
that should.  I tried playing with tieWaitForNote, but couldn't get that
to do anything in this case.

Any thoughts?
