You should combine the voices using Lilypond’s built-in multi-voice mechanisms 
— then Lilypond will position elements (e.g., noteheads, stems, flags, etc.) 
correctly, and/or combine the individual voices into chords, depending on which 
mechanism(s) you use.

For example, applying \voiceXXX commands, you could write

    \new Staff <<
      \global
      \new Voice = “tenorI” { \voiceOne \tenorI }
      \new Voice = “tenorII” { \voiceTwo \tenorII }
    >>

There is also the part-combiner, if you want to go that route.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
