Re: Unusual cross-staff stem in Bartók

[Kieren MacMillan]

p.s. Maybe this helps?

\version "2.19.83"

\layout {
  \context {
    \PianoStaff
    \consists #Span_stem_engraver
  }
}

{
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff {
      bes'8[ <ces'' e''>]
    }
    \new Staff {
      \clef bass
      \voiceOne
      \autoBeamOff
      \crossStaff { \tweak NoteColumn.X-offset #-1.175 \tweak Stem.length 10 
bes8 s }
      \autoBeamOn
    }
  >>
}
