I would use something like this.
Please note that explicit Voice creation is needed due to the fact
that we use a \change Staff at the very beginning of "upper".
\version "2.12.3"
upper = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\change Staff = "Staff_pfLower"
<c,, c'>8
\change Staff = "Staff_pfUpper"
<d'' e>16 <d e>
<d e> <d e> <d e> <d e>
}
lower = \relative c, {
\clef bass
% stems may overlap the other staff
\override Stem #'cross-staff = ##t
% extend the stems to reach the other staff
\override Stem #'length = #12
% do not print extra flags
\override Stem #'flag-style = #'no-flag
% stems should be up
\stemUp
% prevent autobeaming
\autoBeamOff
s8 <a'' b>16 <a b>
<a b> <a b> <a b> <a b>
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff = "PianoStaff_pf" <<
\new Staff = "Staff_pfUpper" <<
\new Voice = "Voice_pfUpper" {
\upper
}
>>
\new Staff = "Staff_pfLower" <<
\new Voice = "Voice_pfLower" {
\lower
}
>>
>>
}
Cheers,
