Okay, that good information. How about we put that into the example at
least? (What's posted below might be made "prettier".)
\version "2.24.1"
\layout {
\context {
\PianoStaff
\consists "Span_stem_engraver"
}
}
{
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff {
<b d'>4 r d'16\> e'8. g8 r\!
e'8 f' g'4
\voiceTwo
\autoBeamOff
% Down to lower staff
\crossStaff { e'8 e'8 } e'4
}
\new Staff {
\clef bass
\voiceOne
\autoBeamOff
% Up to upper staff
\crossStaff { <e g>4 e, g16 a8. c8 } d
\autoBeamOn
g8 f g4 \voiceTwo g8 g g4
}
>>
}
