The problem with your code is the notes entered between <<...>>. That
construct means "execute simultaneously", so LilyPond tries to execute all
those notes at the same time, hence the bunching together. To fix it, place
those notes in braces, which mean "execute sequentially". So, instead of
<< aes8 ges aes ges aes ges aes ges \new Staff { \once \override
Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f a8 g a g a g a g } >>
write
<< { aes8 ges aes ges aes ges aes ges } \new Staff { \once \override
Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f a8 g a g a g a g } >>
I would also recommend indenting your code whenever you open a new set of
brackets, and start each command and bar on a new line, something like this:
<<
{
aes8 ges aes ges |
aes ges aes ges |
}
\new Staff
{
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
a8 g a g |
a g a g |
}
You'll then find it much easier to locate bugs.

Subject: Adding an extra staff
Dear Lilypond community,
Please excuse my question, I am new to Lilypond. I work on a Mac 10.3.9
and
operate with version "2.11.56-1".
I've been looking at the page concerning "adding extra staves" and
although
I find the example clear, but it's also insufficient because as soon as I
want to write quicker note values within the middle stave, they tend not
to
get engraved in the bar with "3-staves".
Since I'm currently typing up a piano score I wanted to test out the trick
in a PianoStaff. So, my code looks like this:
\version "2.11.56-1"
\score {
<<
\new PianoStaff <<
\relative c''
\new Staff {
\time 4/4 g8 a b c d c b a %scale 1
gis ais c des es des c bes %scale 2
a b cis d e d cis b %scale 3
c d e f g f e d %scale 4
es f g aes bes aes g f %scale 5
}
\new StaffGroup \relative c'' {
\new Staff { r1 gis4 gis gis gis
<< a1 \new Staff { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature
#'stencil
= ##f a8 g a g a g a g } >>
c4 c c c }
}
>>
>>
}
This works, and I am happy !
However whenever I type in more notes into the middle bar, it bunches all
those notes into the first quarter i.e.:
<< aes8 ges aes ges aes ges aes ges \new Staff { \once \override
Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f a8 g a g a g a g } >>
these didn't work either:
<< aes8 \new Staff { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
a8
g a g a g a g } ges8 aes ges aes ges aes ges >>
<< aes \new Staff { \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f a8
g
a g a g a g } >> ges8 aes ges aes ges aes ges
I tried this out in the previous version I was using , which was "2.10.33"
and that didn't work. Where should I type the notes for the middle bar ?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
