heck you're right. there's a thing called english which happens to be a  
language which happens to be supported by lilypond (and probably even  
there's someone out there who happens to speak it)

:-S

the original example posted by Ken is strictly incorrect and still  
contains syntax errors though, but never mind. sorry for my confusion. I'm  
used to the default note names in dutch and my "internal" parser warns me  
when it reads "strange" constructs like {bf} or {ef,16}
:)

here's my suggestion then:

------------------------------------8<---------------------------------

\version "2.12.3"

\include "english.ly"

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff = "up" <<
    \clef treble
    \key a \minor
    \time 3/8

    \new Voice {\voiceOne \relative c'' { g16 a bf f' bf, c } }
    \new Voice {
        \voiceTwo \relative c'
        {
                \change Staff = down \stemUp ef,16 f  g a g a
        }
    }
  >>
  \new Staff = "down" {
    \clef bass
    \key a \minor
    \time 3/8

    \new Voice {
       \voiceFour \relative c {
          \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn
          \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn
          e f4.
       }
    }
  }
