The order of elements for a note is
<pitch> <duration> <articulations>
In "g~1", you have
<pitch> <articulation> <duration>
Thus the "g~" part is understood as a g note that implicitly
inherits the duration of the previous note, with a tie, and
the "1" part is the duration of a new note, which inherits
the pitch of the previous note. You want "g1~" instead.
By the way, you can simplify
<d~ a'~>1
into
<d a'>1~
