Yes, this is possible. Have a look at the Notation Reference or Learning 
Manual about polyphony. You will see that LilyPond wants the voices of a 
polyphonic section in a special order:

<<
  highest
  \\
  lowest
  \\
  second-to-highest
  \\
  second-to-lowest
  \\
  ...
>>

So you should switch the “b8 r c r” and “g4~ g” voices. Then you’ll see 
that the “g4~ g” voice has its stems up. You can correct that by writing 
\voiceFour (default behaviour of the third is like \voiceThree).
