If you want to have the notes *not* displaced, but vertically stacked, you
can do so by the following:
\new Staff <<
\new Voice \relative c'' {
\voiceOne
c a c b c c c b
}
\new Voice \relative c'' {
\voiceOne
g f g g g a g g
}
>>
However, this will give warnings for clashing note columns on most notes.
Another way to avoid the displacement (an it will avoid the warnings as
well) is to put both sequences of notes in the same voice:
\new Staff {
\new Voice <<
\relative c'' {
c a c b c c c b
}
\relative c'' {
g f g g g a g g
}
>>
}
