Phil, I used your advice and made it to work.
I added an extra voice, a hidden note to push the staves further apart, then used \tag to suppress the hidden note from MIDI, plus added an extra \score block to generate the midi.
What an involved workaround, but I understand the special situation.
I wish a simpler command existed to attach to a note, set a direction, and request additional skyline above or below the selected note. Something like:
c d e^\increaseSkyline{ #4 }

In a situation like this, I have used hidden notes in another voice on the
same stave. Put a high note in the bass stave, and the treble stave will
space away to miss it.
