Try Rune's suggestion from
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-12/msg00147.html
which solves the same problem without any need to manually specify the
position.

Rune's tip is a great start because it makes all cross-staff beams sit at the same vertical position.

Is there a way to get "normal" (noncrosss-staff) beams to likewise sit at that same vertical position?

(IOW, I'm looking for both flat and vertically aligned; Rune's #+inf.0 gets flat ... now for the vertically aligned part?)

%%% BEGIN TAKE 2 %%%

\version "2.11.34"

\new PianoStaff <<
   \new Staff = RH {
      \time 9/8
      \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-10 . 20)
      \override Stem #'direction = #down
      \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0

      c'8 [
      c'8
      \once \override Stem #'direction = #up
      \change Staff = LH
      c'8 ]
      \change Staff = RH

      c'8 [
      \once \override Stem #'direction = #up
      \change Staff = LH
      c'8
      \change Staff = RH
      c'8 ]

      c''8 [ % how to make this one sit at the same vertical pos?
      c''8
      c''8 ]

   }

   \new Staff = LH {
      \clef bass
      s1 * 9/8
   }
