Unlikely, since it works by accident more than anything else. To wit, writing \new Voice { \themusic } already breaks it, and so would most other changes. The problem is that you kept "\\" around which then creates an implicit \context Voice = "1" which then only survives into the common part because LilyPond will not let every voice die but keep the first one around. Removing \\ would be good, but here is a nicer way (given a recent enough version of LilyPond) that doesn't and is a bit more transparent about what it does:
\version "2.19.64" \include "english.ly" themusic = { \clef "treble_8" \voices "main",2 << { \voiceOne <a d'>8[ <bf df'>8]\< \oneVoice } \\ { f,4 } >> <ef b fs'>8 <d bf g'>8\f \times 2/3 { af'16\ff ef'16 c16 } <e, b g'>4. } \new Voice = "main" { \themusic }
