You could fake it with:

\layout {
  raggedright = ##t
}

\score{{
   #(set-accidental-style 'forget)
   \clef bass
   <<
     {
       \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
       \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
       \override Beam #'transparent = ##t
       ees'4 ees'4


     } \\
     {
       \tieUp
       ees'4~ ees'4
     }

   >>
   \override Staff.Tie #'minimum-length = #3.6
   \override Staff.TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(-1.1 . -1.6)
   ees'~ ees'^\markup{\flat}
}}


But that is a lot of manual tweeking.
