Hi Kieran,

I tried a simplified example. Though, I can make it work either for
the Ties _or_ for the Beam.
Seems that the notes have to be in the _same_ Voice for the Beam.
But for the Ties with a cross-staff chord in _different_ Voices.

I've no idea how to solve that quandary.

FWIW, the code:

\version "2.17.20"

upper_notes = \relative c' {
         s4 e4
}

lower_notes = \relative c {
         \clef bass
         c8~
         \change Staff = "piano_upper"
         % The next line warrants the Tie, but no Beam.
         % Commenting this returns the Beam, but no all Ties
         %\context Voice = "xy"
         e'~
         \change Staff = "piano_lower"
         \crossStaff c,4
}

\score {        
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff = "piano_upper" \new Voice = "xy" { \upper_notes }
    \new Staff = "piano_lower" \lower_notes
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \PianoStaff
      \consists #Span_stem_engraver
      tieWaitForNote = ##t
    }
  }
}


Sorry for being of not more help,
  Harm
