I can get it to compile with this but I don't know if it gives you what 
you want.  There are no notes in the second "bar" that have the same 
accicentals as notes in the first "bar".  This assuming you are thinking 
of each whole chord as a 4/4 bar.

\book {
 \score {
   <<
     \new Staff{
   #(set-accidental-style 'no-reset)
   { <c' des' ees'>1 <d' e' f'>1 }
     }
   >>
   \layout {
     ragged-right = ##t
     \context {
   \Staff
   \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
   \remove "Bar_engraver"
     }
   }
 }
 \score {
   <<
     { <c' ees' fes'>1 <cis' d' f'>1 }
   >>
   \layout {
     ragged-right = ##t
     \context {
       \Staff
       \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
       \remove "Bar_engraver"
     }
   }
 }
}
