I think you didn't understand that the purpose of the tieVoice voice was to
have only the ties that span different voices.

You were close, but not quite there.  If it's any consolation, it took me
about 5 minutes to get things working right for you.

And I remember when I started with LilyPond, none of this stuff made sense.
But I promise that if you hang in there, and try to understand *why* these
things work, it will get better.

Here's my code:

\version "2.13.7"
tieVoice = { 
   \voiceThree
   \shiftOff
   \override Voice.NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t
   \set tieWaitForNote = ##t
   \hideNotes
}

\new Staff {
  \relative c'' {
   \key g \major
 << { \voiceOne <a d>8[ fis a d fis e] }
   \new Voice { \voiceTwo fis,8[ fis] fis4 <fis a> }
   \new Voice { \tieVoice a4 <fis a>4_~ <fis a>4 }
 >> \oneVoice
  }
}

HTH,
