Meanwhile:

\version "2.19.21"
\language "deutsch"

\new Staff

<<
\new Voice \relative c { \clef bass \voiceOne g'2. }
\new Voice \relative c {
  \voiceOne \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #0.3  g4
  \oneVoice %% or \voiceXxx whatever suits you
}
\new Voice \relative c {
  \voiceTwo
  \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #1.25
  g4( b g)
  \oneVoice %% or \voiceXxx whatever suits you
}
