I did use the autochange command; Lily put the entire chord on either the
top or bottom staff. What I want is some notes on one staff and some on
another. Am I just doing something wrong in using autochange? (I thought
it looked straightforward, and it works for single-note voices..)
I've attached an example. As far as I can see, autochange doesn't affect
the chords at all.
Thanks,
Daniel
