Re: Change staff and cross staff

[damianlegassick]

Try this for starters

\version "2.21.7"

\layout { \context { \PianoStaff \consists #Span_stem_engraver } }

rhmusic = {

time 3/4 \key e \major
\change Staff = "lower"
\stemUp <gis b>8[ r16
\change Staff = "upper" e'16]
}

lhmusic = {
\key e \major
\clef "bass"
<< { s8. \crossStaff {b16} } \\ { e,4 } >>
}

\new PianoStaff {
<<
\new Staff = "upper" {\rhmusic}
\new Staff = "lower"{\lhmusic}
>>
}

Here's a better MWE with my try using voices in the left hand:

%%% Start
\version "2.20.0"
\language "english"

staffUp = \change Staff = "upper"
staffDown = \change Staff = "lower"

rh = \relative c' {
s8. \crossStaff e16
}

lh = \relative c' {
\clef bass
<< { <gs b>8[ r16 b] } \\ { e,,4 } >>
}

\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "upper" { \rh }
\new Staff = "lower" { \lh }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\PianoStaff
\consists #Span_stem_engraver
}
}
}
%%% End

I have a tricky measure in the Chopin Mazurka I'm working on. The

notes need to be on the lower staff (from the right hand) and the last

chord is cross staff. I'd like to be able to do something like

this...

%%% Start

\version "2.20.0"

staffUp = \change Staff = "upper"

staffDown = \change Staff = "lower"

\relative c, {

\staffDown <gs b>8[ r16 <b \staffUp \crossStaff e>

}

%%% End

..but of course that doesn't work. I tried something with two voices

in the left hand, but ran into problems. I've attached a screenshot

of the measure.
