Piano staff notes across both staffs

[Vivyan]

I have been taught to set up piano staffs like so. But I can't work out why
these two notes aren't crossing both staffs?

[code]
\version "2.19.80"

\header {
  title = "Composition Study I: Techniques"
  composer = "Joel Ramsbottom"
  tagline = ""  % removed 
}
  
upper = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  \time 5/4
  \tempo "Andante" 4 = 76
   r4            
  <e'>8                                         
                                
  }
 
 lower =  \relative c {
  \clef bass
  \time 5/4
   r4

  \autoBeamOff
  \crossStaff {*}
 
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<

    \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano  "
    \new Staff = "upper" \upper
    \new Staff = "lower" \lower
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
    \PianoStaff
    \consists #Span_stem_engraver
  }
  }
  \midi { }
}
