Could you send a *compilable* code?

We do not have the definitions of all your variables: "hpianoI",
"hpianoII", "hpianoIVb", etc.

Also you are using a very old version of LilyPond.
Current stable version is 2.12.3 and the new stable 2.14 is about to
be released (in a few weeks).

Please upgrade to 2.12.3 at least, the result should be really better
(many bugfixes compared to 2.6.5) and people could help you better.
Syntax changes should not be a problem if you use "basic" commands.
And you can upgrade your files very easily using  convert-ly .

Please note that in current development version (2.13.59, aka pre-2.14)
the "beam collision stuff" has been improved a lot, even compared to
2.12!

Cheers,
Xavier
