before you are wondering about the code example you got by Pierre, let me tell you that you have already managed to run into one of the more annoying and embarrassing issues with LilyPond. There actually is no proper support for ties that are not strictly horizontal, which affect staff changes (as in your example), but also clef changes within a staff and enharmonic changes of the same pitch ( e.g. cis ~ des).
What Pierre suggests is basically to hard-code the actual shape of the ties in your file, which is a rather hacky workaround as it will not behave properly when anything in your layout changes. (Apart from that one could also make use of the built-in function \shape, which you can read about on http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/modifying-shapes.
Another hacky workaround would be to replace the ties by slurs, which can of course cross staves. But here we'd have the problem of getting three simultaneous slurs. I know there's a rather recent (?) feature to make this possible, but I'm not sure how, so someone else should help out with that if you'd want to go that route.
Graphically this is probably the simplest solution, but this requires you to write semantically wrong stuff in the input file: what you have *is* a set of ties, not of slurs.
HTH (a bit)

Hi!I'm new using lilypond, so please excuse me if this is a dumb question.
\version "2.19.36"\language "english"\new PianoStaff <<\new Staff = "up"\relative c'{ s1 }\new Staff = "down"\relative c{\clef bass <ef af cf ef>4^~ \change Staff ="up" \tuplet 3/2 { <af! cf! ef!>8 <bf! df! f> <cf! eff! gf!> } }>>How do I get the ab-minor chord to tie over into the triplet? The above code just makes three tie lines above the staff. I have tried to do it with slurs, since midi output isn't an issue here, but the results aren't really that good either. Below is what I'm trying to engrave.

P.S. Any tips on getting the low eb on the first beat to tie over like in the picture would be appreciated! Right now I've solved it by creating a new voice with a hidden eb, which makes the tie look kind of awkward, but it works. D.S.
