I applaud your effort to produce a tiny example of your problem: however, 
you've cut so much out that the code you've provided doesn't compile cleanly 
or produce the output you've attached.

That said, I would never use stemDown and shift like this: have you 
considered voicing this correctly with \voiceOne and \voiceTwo?
