Re: Cross staff notation

[Helge Kruse]

Jonathan,

thanks for reply. Do you also know a kind of function, where I can pass the note(s) that should be notated in the upper system as a 
parameter? The function should
- save current stem direction
- change the staff to upper
- write the passed note(s)
- change the staff to lower
- restore the original stem direction
I think this must be defined with a scheme function. But I have a hige lack of 
knowledge how to write this.

Regards,
Helge
