just a basic start:

right = \relative c'' {
  \global
  c4 d e f |
  \stopStaff
  \override Staff.StaffSymbol.line-positions = #'(-8)
  \override NoteHead.style = #'cross
  \startStaff
  \repeat unfold 3 \relative {a4 a a a } | %% you can probably also change
to drummode here
  \stopStaff
  \revert Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count
  \revert Staff.StaffSymbol.line-positions
  \revert NoteHead.style
  \startStaff
  \notemode {
    c4 f g f
  }
}

left = \relative c' {
  \global
  \clef bass
  c,4 d e f |
  \stopStaff
  s1 | s1 | s1 |
  \startStaff
  c4 f g f
}
\new PianoStaff <<
  \right
  \left
>>

does this help?
if you figure out a a good way to accomplish what you describe above could
you publish the final solution!?

thanks
