Using explicit voices, which i suggested, doesn't mean that they need
to last for the whole piece.
Here's what you should do:

grimoaldo = \relative c' {
    \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Grimoaldo"
    \key a \major
    \autoBeamOff
    d8[ e8] fis8
    <<
      { \voiceOne gis8 a8.[ gis16] }
      \new Voice { \voiceTwo gis,8 a4 }
    >>
    \oneVoice
    fis'16[ e d cis] b[ a]
    e8.[ gis16 a8]
}

Is this what you want?

hope this helps,
