Claire,
Some suggestions.
Use only two voices, one in each staff.
The treble clef in the lower staff is a result of the “grace note bug.” A
spacer grace note must be put in the lower staff aligned to the one in the
upper staff.
If cross staff stems is necessary you can create a second voice in the upper
staff and follow
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-keyboards
Attached is my setting of the piece.

Subject: Problem with cross-staff colliding notes
Hi,
I'm trying to reproduce a piano score that has a lot of cross-staff notes, some
of them colliding. There are 3 voices :
- one for the right hand on the upper staff,
- one for the left hand on the lower staff,
- and for the left hand on the upper staff.
That last voice is the cross-staffed one. Because the right hand overlaps a bit
with the left, some collisions happen because the overlapping notes are written
on the same staff.
In the snippet that I'm sharing, there are two problematic bars :
- on the first bar, I "solved" the problem (the pair of Fs). I tried looking at
lilypond examples to see for something matching, found something, applied it
and it worked, but I have no idea why (and I'd be grateful for an explanation).
- then for the second bar, there are two pairs of F, and I'd like the same
thing as for the first bar, but have not been successful in any attempt to do
so (admittedly because I didn't understand how I solved my problem the first
time around).
- in the snippet that I provide, I also seem to have a weird treble clef, and I
don't why. I don't have it in my full score, it happened when I trimmed my
score to provide the snippet, so it's not a big deal to me, but if someone can
explain, I'm grateful too.
The snippet is on lilybin : http://lilybin.com/7w0cet/2
Thanks to anyone who can help!
