To fix it I found two different ways.
First one:

    \version "2.19.81"
    \score {
    \new Voice <<
      {f4 g a b}
      {s4\< s4 s4 s4\!}

Other possibilities:
{ s4*3\< s4\! }
{ s2.\< s4\! }
{ s4\< s s s\! }

Thank you Simon, this make things even more clear. 

 

By the way: It is customary to always surround { and } with whitespace, even if it’s not technically necessary, and I like that convention because it’s much better to read that way.

... and second one (but I'm not sure it is "correct" even if it compiles and works...)

    \version "2.19.81"
    \score {
      \new Voice <<
        {f4 g a b}
        \new Dynamics {s4\< 4 4 4\!}
      >>
      \layout {}
    }

If you’re doing that, you can go all the way and write
\new Dynamics { 4\< 4 4 4\! }
Then all the ‘4’s are converted into note events, which are ignored in a Dynamics context.

:) I discovered this today while testing. I think I will write in this way, it looks clearer to me.

 

Thank you, g.
