Never use \stemDown in input rather than definitions. It is a component in defining a particular voice, but you are missing other components. I'd do this in the following way:
\version "2.19.83" \relative c' { \voices 1,2,4 <<{c'2~ c8. dis16 e8. c16 | b2~ b8. dis16 e8. b16 | a2~ a8. b16 c8. a16}\\ {e2 fis | dis e | cis dis}\\ { b'8. b16 a8. gis16 a2~ | a8. a16 g8. fis16 g2~ | g8. g16 fis8. e16 fis2}>> }
