I am still relatively new to lilypond.
I have a simple four voice choral attached.


(1)
This example produces numerous warnings about
clashing notes which look like:

   choral-beethoven-moonlight-01-simple.ly:16:62: warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns
       e'2  e'2   e'2   fs'2    fs'2  e'2   ds'!2   ds'    cs'

Why is this happening?

Because of "many clashing note columns"  ;)
To avoid this use \voiceOne and \voiceTwo, or write chords


(2)
Also, this example fails to produce a midi file.
Can someone explain what I am doing wrong?

\midi should be _in_ score:

\score {
\new PianoStaff { ... }
\layout { ... }
\midi { ... }
}

(3)
As far as the structure of my file:

 \new PianoStaff
 <<
    \new Staff = "up"
    {
      <<
      \new Voice = "up" { }
      \new Voice = "up" { }

    }
    \new Staff = "down"
    {
      <<
      \new Voice { }
      \new Voice { }

    }

 }

Is this considered an example of "best practice", or how
might others structure a four voice choral.


(4)
Finally, at the beginning of the four measure in
the soprano and alto, the d# and c# collide.
I would have thought lilypond would have taken care
of this.  What do I need to do to fix this?

See above.

HTH,
 Harm

Also, if you haven't read it, the Learning Manual is a great introduction to lilypond that helps to explain why things go wrong, how to find out what went wrong, and how to fix it. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/learning/index.html
