Five Voices
Now, unless I'm going crazy, is there not five voices in the first half of this measure, in the second staff?
Is there any way to notate this cleanly in Musescore without having to "fake it" by using the second voice of the first staff?

Everything in the left hand will fit in 3 or fewer voices. Use cross staff notation to move the few notes from the bottom staff to the top. If heads do not want to be shared, make one invisible and all will be as expected.

Thanks, sounds like my original idea for how to solve this (using cross-staff beaming) is the way to go.
In this particular example I think the original is unnecessarily complex so if you were transcribing to play ather than to faithfully recreate the original then I´d drop the bottom bass voice since the pedals do most of the work for you anyway. But if you do want to faithfully recreate it then that is where cross-staff beaming becomes very useful.

Well, it's Godowsky, so "complex" is the general name of the game. For instance, this snippet is from a piece that's played solely with the left hand- the two staves are just to differentiate more of the voices.
