I don't recommend that option…

If you want a shortcut, define

split = #(define-music-function (parser location upper lower )  
(ly:music? ly:music? )
#{ << { \voiceOne $upper } \new Voice { \voiceTwo $lower } >>  
\oneVoice #})

Now you can use

\split { e''2. } { a'2~a'8[ b'] }
\split { e''2.\fermata } { b'2.\fermata }

It's less typing anyway!
