It is also possible to do it by manually changing the style of the tied
voice without having to hide any notes:
\relative c'' {
<< { s2 s4 e } \\ { s2 \voiceOne \tieDown d4~ \voiceTwo d } \\ { \voiceTwo
f,~ <a~ f> <a f>~ <a f> } >>
}

However, if a tie is indeed meant then the proper method per current
practice would be to indicate all three notes of the chord in the lower
voice (and in this case, since they're all tied, replace the quarters with
halves); the fact it isn't (and the slightly different angle of the curve
as opposed to the clear ties for the other notes) makes me conclude that it
probably is in fact a slur between the d'' and the e''.

Cheers,

Aleksa
