Assuming that you are using this construct everywhere, you can use

\layout { \accidentalStyle "dodecaphonic"
          \override Accidental #'hide-tied-accidental-after-break = ##t
}

in order to have these styles apply to all created contexts (including
the contexts in << \\ >>).  This requires a more recent version of
LilyPond (2.15.thirty-something or so); if that is not available, you
can achieve the equivalent somewhat more laboriously using \context
redefinitions explicitly.
