Re: Change staff and cross staff

[Knute Snortum]

Here's a better MWE with my try using voices in the left hand:

%%% Start
\version "2.20.0"
\language "english"

staffUp   = \change Staff = "upper"
staffDown = \change Staff = "lower"

rh = \relative c' {
  s8. \crossStaff e16
}

lh = \relative c' {
  \clef bass
  << { <gs b>8[ r16 b] } \\ { e,,4 } >>
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff = "upper" { \rh }
    \new Staff = "lower" { \lh }
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \PianoStaff
      \consists #Span_stem_engraver
    }
  }
}
%%% End
