You could try

\version "2.19.84"

upper = \relative {
  \tiny
  \stemUp
  s4 b''
}

music = \relative {
  \key e \minor
  \time 2/4
  b'8 <b, e g>16 c' <b, e g b>8 <b e g>16 b'
}

\new Staff << \new Voice \with { \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t } 
\upper
              \new Voice \music >>
