I am concerned that you do not understand why the braces {} do what they
do, and that you are just memorizing syntax.

The items in a set of {} braces come one after the other in time, so they
will move from right to left on the page.

The items in a set of << >> angle brackets all start at the same time.

If you understand this, things will make much more sense.

The way to solve this problem is to use one Staff, rather than multiple
Staff contexts, but also to use \startStaff and \stopStaff to break the
staff.  See the example in the Notation Reference where they talk about
"many isolated ossia staves".

Thanks,
