Cross-staff chords is one of the very first features I tried in lilypond and could not achieve. I used to teach Finale and gave a Satie example as an exercise to my students; when I switched to lilypond I could not use the piece (first Gnossienne) any more, you can not ask for such a complicated exercise at the initial stages of learning, but it was fairly easy with the afore mentioned visual package. The idea was: you select a special tool, choose a measure and a number of handles appear on noteheads. Then just drag and drop notes onto the desired staff. In lilypond we have not a syntax for this but we do have one for simple cross staff voices, so I guess we have a small step done towards this. Remember, however, that a syntax is not by far all you need to have for a feature to work. I'd be delighted to sponsor the feature. ¿A price? -- Francisco Vila.
