Hi Andrew,

If you use \new Voice instead of the double backslash syntax, the
first voice in the << >> brackets continues before and after the
simultaneous music.

\relative c'' {

%1
s2

| %2
<<
   { \voiceOne a16\cresc d~ d4. }
   \new Voice
   { \voiceTwo a8~ a4. }
 >>
 \oneVoice a4 b\!
}

Best,
Edward
