I have a piece of piano music from the opening chorus of The
Gondoliers that I'm struggling to get my head round.  A scan is
attached.  It's a cross-staff slur, but my problem is that the music
in the left hand is still continuing (the crochet F) while the slur is
crossing the staves.  I can't work out a) how to start setting this in
LilyPond or b) what it means in performance.

Can anyone help?

It's a rising melody line starting in the left hand and moving to the
right.  The "music in the left hand" is _not_ "still continuing" in the
execution, but it would be silly to write an actual rest here while the
sustain pedal is down.

OK.  Thanks.

So that's probably a case for f4*1/4 in the input.


Sorry - I don't understand.  What does this mean?
