I would use something like this. Please note that explicit Voice creation is needed due to the fact that we use a \change Staff at the very beginning of "upper". \version "2.12.3" upper = \relative c' { \clef treble \change Staff = "Staff_pfLower" <c,, c'>8 \change Staff = "Staff_pfUpper" <d'' e>16 <d e> <d e> <d e> <d e> <d e> } lower = \relative c, { \clef bass % stems may overlap the other staff \override Stem #'cross-staff = ##t % extend the stems to reach the other staff \override Stem #'length = #12 % do not print extra flags \override Stem #'flag-style = #'no-flag % stems should be up \stemUp % prevent autobeaming \autoBeamOff s8 <a'' b>16 <a b> <a b> <a b> <a b> <a b> } \score { \new PianoStaff = "PianoStaff_pf" << \new Staff = "Staff_pfUpper" << \new Voice = "Voice_pfUpper" { \upper } >> \new Staff = "Staff_pfLower" << \new Voice = "Voice_pfLower" { \lower } >> >> } Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
