Interesting. However I wonder why you'd need the c,4~ c8 at the LH since it
cannot be held? Don't you think a pedal mark could be used instead and give
your writting more legibility?

Also, I don't understand why you have used NoteColumn.force-hshift because
it makes very unclear where the beat is. If it is really the way you want to
engrave it, I found the default result better.

Anyway, if you really want to write those adjustments through all the piece,
maybe the use of variables would be necessary.

Several alternative ideas:

\include "deutsch.ly"
\version "2.19.65"

\score {
        \new PianoStaff <<
                \new Staff = "RH" \relative c'' { \voiceOne <c c'>4~ q8 q~
q4~ q8 q }
                \new Staff = "LH" \relative c' {
                        \clef bass
                        <<
                                \new Voice = "crossing" { \autoBeamOff
\crossStaff \repeat unfold 2 { \change Staff = "RH" \voiceTwo s8 <c e>8 <c
f> <c a'> } }
                                \new Voice = "notCrossing" { \autoBeamOff
\change Staff = "LH" \voiceTwo \repeat unfold 2 { c,8[\sustainOn g'] g[
g]\sustainOff } }
                        >> \oneVoice
                }
        >>

                                \new Voice = "ties" { \voiceFour \repeat
unfold 2 { \stemUp c,4~ c8 r } }
                        >> \oneVoice

                \new Staff = "LH" \relative c' {
