Kenneth,
The auto beaming can be overridden using [......]. Look up "manual beaming"
in the docs.
Stem direction can be changed with \stemUp and \stemDown.
Attached is a start.

Subject: How to get cross-staff beaming? Should be automatic; it's not. Why?
Hi;
Making progress on the \change Staff Lilypond feature now.
However, the current incarnation of my Swan Lake harp part (one bar so far),
does not have a complete beam (only each triplet has a beam).
I thought that this would be automatic.
Please see attachments.
Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
