It's difficult to tell from your code what you are after.  You do know that "/" 
is not the beginning of a comment in LilyPond, don't you.   In any case, the 
following seems to be close to the spirit of your attached image:

\version "2.16.2"

\paper {
    ragged-bottom = ##t
    ragged-last-bottom = ##t
    ragged-right = ##t
}

upper =  \relative c''{
 \override Score.KeyCancellation #'stencil = ##f
 \set Score.explicitKeySignatureVisibility = #'#(#f #f #t)
 \override Score.BarNumber #'stencil = ##f
 \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
    <e b>
    <a, cis,>
    \break
    \key bes \major
    <f c a'>
    <ees  g bes>
    \break 
% ..... etc for the upper part. Similar for the lower /
}

global = {   \time 2/4 \key a \major }

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
          \new Staff  { \global \upper }
          \new Staff  { \global \upper }
  >>
  \layout { indent = 0 }
}
