Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but if you do a lot of cross
staff notation, it's worth having alternate articulations handy, defined
as metatools, which take this into account. That is, if you normally
place on the note side, then duplicate the articulation and have it
placed stem side. I have the metatools for stem side artics programmed
below the 'regular' ones on my computer keyboard, which makes it
relatively painless. Am I correct in assuming this has not been fixed in
2004? (I'm on 2003) If so, that would strike me as an immense oversight.
BTW, how much better is the auto-cross staff function in 2004 than the
one currently available in TGTools. Does the beam need adjusting, and so
on. Can it handle auto crossing- e.g. every second note in the bottom
staff, and so on? Is feathered beaming supported for cross staff notation
in 2004?
