The new \crossStaff command distributes chord notes on two staves, e.g. \version "2.16.0"
\layout { \context { \PianoStaff \consists #Span_stem_engraver } } { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { *4 } \new Staff { \clef bass \override Stem #'direction = #up \crossStaff { <e g>4 } } >> } However as all chord notes (musically) belong to the same voice I would like to notate the entire chord within the same context. Is it somehow possible to write a cross-staff chord within *one* staff context only (using \change Staff)? I thought about something like the following (which however does not perform a staff change): \layout { \context { \PianoStaff \consists #Span_stem_engraver } } { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "upper" { << { *4 } { \change Staff = "lower" \crossStaff { <e g>4 } } >> } \new Staff = "lower" { \clef bass s4 } >> } Thanks for suggestions, Dominik -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/crossStaff-question-tp133443.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
