I second what Phil said. Some hints in addition:

– \change Staff = "lower" doesn’t need the following music to be 
enclosed in braces. It emits an event at one point of time (moving the 
voice to the other staff) rather than actually modifying the following 
music.
– Please surround all { } with spaces and apply appropriate line breaks 
(rule of thumb: maximum 80 characters per line, exceptions 
notwithstanding). It helps legibility of the code.
– It seems you’d be well off using explicit voices like \new Voice { 
\voiceOne … }. These are explained in the Learning Manual.
