For example Brahms Klavierstücke Op. 118, Nummer 1, Intermezzo (a minor), Henle
Urtextausgabe. In the first full measure an 8'th note broken a minor chord starts in
the left hand and continues in the following measure in the right hand. The whole
figure has a common phrazing slur moving from the lower to the upper staff along with
the figure.
I suppose this is meant by 'slurs crossing staves'. This feature is supported by
MusiXTeX.
