Because you have asked (implicitly) for two different Staff  
contexts.  =)

What you want is to force the two musics to be *consecutive* rather  
than *concurrent*:

{ \new Staff = "mycontext" \relative c' { c4 d e f g2. } \context  
Staff = "mycontext" \relative c' { g'4 g f e d c1 } }

Hope this helps!
