Yes, you perfectly understood me. But using chords is totally impractical for me as I already have the individual voices as LilyPond code.
I tried as you described below and I'm getting a little closer. However, there
are still some problems, one of which you can see in the attached example: the
final chord consisting of two eighth notes actually looks like a sixteenth note
chord.
\override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t
is just to suppress the collision warnings, right?

Tobias
% example
\version "2.12.3"
global = {
\clef treble
\time 2/2
\key g \dorian
}
soprano = \relative c''' {
\voiceOne
g4 g d4. e8 |
}
alto = \relative c'' {
\voiceOne
b4 c b4. c8 |
}
tenor = \relative c'' {
\voiceTwo
g4 g g2 |
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\global
\override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t
\new Voice { \soprano }
\new Voice { \alto }
\new Voice { \tenor }
