You only have to remove every comma/apostrophe from the input for Staff#2.

For example:

a' b' c'' d'' e'' f'' g''   ->   a b c d e f g

The \relative command is used for a much more easy note entry: When 
writing two or more consecutive notes, lily will put the second note 
closest to the first.

For example:

c e   ->   c e (above)
c g   ->   c g (below)

Every following note is set relative to its predecessor. You need to 
specify commata/apostrophes only if you want lily to raise/lower the 
next note . For mot einformation see:
