That sounds like what I'm looking for. However, Alt-v doesn't do anything (is it available in 2.0.0?) and I don't see any options on the Staffs/Voices menu that appear to do what you are describing.

See the Change Staff command to make a voice > switch staffs. Just so I'm understanding, would it allow for something like what is going in bars 2/3, 6 and 7 on page 3 of http://imslp.org/wiki/File:Bach _-_BGA_-_BWV_578.pdf ?

Is it generally recommended to either build from source or use the download from the web site rather than the Debian package?) Are you referring to Showcase->Sample Output->Pavana & Galliarda Dolorosa on the web site?
