Paolo,
Looking at the referenced post, as a performer I have to ask “Why?” Mark From: lilypond-user [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr....@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Paolo Prete Sent: Friday, February 28, 2020 4:55 PM To: Andrew Bernard <andrew.bern...@gmail.com> Cc: lilypond-user <lilypond-user@gnu.org> Subject: Re: Question on cross-staff On Sat, Feb 29, 2020 at 1:04 AM Andrew Bernard <andrew.bern...@gmail.com <mailto:andrew.bern...@gmail.com> > wrote: Hello Paolo, I have experimented with this in the past. As far as I know it cannot be done. You have to use the cross staff functions. What do you say is buggy? Hi Andrew, I just found a way to obtain this, through a hack. I just have to put a fake note on the stem, then 1) hide nothead + ledgers + accidentals 2) \once \override NoteHead.Y-offset = 0 (so that clefs and ottavations don't interfere) 3) \tag #'display for the hidden notehead (so that it doesn't play in midi stuff) That said, the cross-staff functions are very buggy (many collisions). It would be long to list all the problems I encountered, but look to this post (which confirms what I'm saying): http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/cross-staff-bug-td164874.html It's quite old, but it seems that the issues has not been solved meanwhile. Given that cross staff can be obtained by 1) \change Staff AND/OR 2) crossStaff commands, I'm experiencing that if I remove at least 1), bugs seem to be reduced as well. I'm doing some tests, and update the ML as soon as I have interesting results. Best, P
