Re: dot placement with staff switch

You should use Lilypond’s built-in voicing commands to your advantage, e.g.

\version "2.19.3"
\language "english"

global = {
  \key f \major
  \time 4/4
}

rightOne = \relative c' {
  r2 r4 f |
  f g a bf |
}

rightTwo = \relative c' {
  bf4 e \showStaffSwitch f2 \change Staff = "left" | 
  \voiceOne c2. d4 |
}

leftOne = \relative c' {
  bf1 |
  a |
}

leftTwo = \relative c {
  d1 |
  f1
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff  <<
    \new Staff = "right" << \global << { \voiceOne \rightOne } \\ { \voiceTwo 
\rightTwo } >> >>
    \new Staff = "left" << \clef bass \global << { \voiceOne \leftOne } { 
\voiceTwo \leftTwo } >> >>
  >>
}

That way, you can avoid all of the manual shifts and stem direction changes, 
etc.

Hope this helps!
