We tried to explain it in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Single-voice#Chorded-notes Here, the first two chords are <c e g> <c f a> and the c is a common pitch between them. Obviously, this would only be possible if the second c were relative to the first one. No need to write c, to lower the pitch of the second c despite of being a fifth down from the preceding g HTH -- Francisco Vila.
