Now to your actual question: at first sight, beaming on 16ths suggests
same hand despite of being cross staff. In this case I would indicate
clearly R.H. on the 16ths in upper staff. It would be more kludgy but
also doubtless (on how to play it) to use alternate 16ths and silences
instead of cross beaming.
