Why would it create a new voice?   Actually, I can't make head nor tail
of the above syntax.  If I split the lower into

<< e1 {s4 s4\< s2\f\>} >> << f2 {s4 s4\!} >>

it becomes more comprehensible: start cresc after 1/4, reach \f and
start descresc after another 1/4, end 1/4 into the following note.
