Hi George,

How about:

tenor = \relative d' {
  \override NoteHead.color = #red \override Stem.color = #red \override 
Beam.color = #red \override Rest.color = #red
  \change Staff = "up"
  \voiceFour
  d8 e f d a'4 r8 d, |
  bes'4 r8 d, a'4 \tweak staff-position -4 \tweak X-offset #1 r16 g f e   |
  d e f d 
}

In general, I tend to trust Lilypond’s \voiceX commands and tweak anything that 
doesn’t work as hoped/expected, rather than manually overriding stem and tie 
directions and so on. (Obviously, when the tenor returns to the lower staff, 
you’d want to issue a \voiceOne command!)

Hope that helps,
Kieren.
