Re: Beam.positions affecting space between staves

[Leo Correia de Verdier]

Common beams for both staves, sometimes pulled outside them are used in contemporary music when the resultant rhythm from both staves of a single instrument are significantly easier to grasp than the separate rhythms of the separate staves. It also hints at both staves having a common voice or musical material.

Hello,

I would use cross-staff stems in the lower staff and invisible note heads in the upper staff.

But this notation is not conventional, what is it supposed to represent/signify?
