Here's my solution (took about 15 minutes)

%==============================
\version "2.13.7"

\relative c' {
\time 3/4
\key d \major
\mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn
<< {

s4 d8 fis a d |
R1*3/4 |
<d a>8 fis, a d fis e |
} \\ {
<d a>4 d, ~ d |
s2. |
fis8 fis fis4 ~ fis |
} \\ { \tieDown
\override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t
s4. \once \override Stem #'flag-style = #'no-flag fis8 ~ \stemDown fis4 |
s2. |
s4 ]\stemUp a ~ \stemDown a |
} >>
}
%==============================
