This can be achieved by creating a special thread context where you
remoce the notehead-engraver:

mela = \notes \relative c' { a-. c e-> a\fermata }
melb = \notes \relative c' { c g'2 c'4 }
\score {
  <
      \context Voice=va \mela
      \context Voice=vb <
          \melb
          \context NoHeadThread \mela
      >

  \paper {
      \translator {
          \VoiceContext
          \accepts NoHeadThread
      }
      \translator {
          \ThreadContext
          \name NoHeadThread
          \alias Thread
          \remove Note_heads_engraver
      }
  }
}
