In Voice 1 of your code, you have g~4. This is interpreted as g (of the =
same note duration (except the tuplet ratio applied), tied to a quarter =
note of the same pitch. This causes the extra quarter note to appear.

Instead of g~4, you need either:

g4~

or=20

4~

That should fix the issue you are having.=20
