It's because you/he has put the lower note in the upper voice, so LilyPond
shifts it to show this.
Firstly, though, you can simplify it immensely by getting rid of most of the
{ }
So: try this:
<< { c2. c4~ c1 bes1 a1 } \\ {g2. aes4~ aes1 ges1 des1 } >>

Hi,
A friend showed me his first leadsheed to proofread and we both stumbled
over the strange alignment in bar three of the attached file.
Is this a bug or a feature?
thanks for help
