Afaict, \crossStaff does not _require_ Stems in the same direction.
Ofcourse different directions usually make the Stem to far apart from
each other to connect them.
Though, if you move a NoteColumn so that the Stems are very close,
they are connectable.
Sometimes this is very tedious, but quite often the below defined
pushNC works nicely:
pushNC =
\once \override NoteColumn.X-offset =
#(lambda (grob)
(let* ((p-c (ly:grob-parent grob X))
(p-c-elts (ly:grob-object p-c 'elements))
(stems
(if (ly:grob-array? p-c-elts)
(filter
(lambda (elt)(grob::has-interface elt 'stem-interface))
(ly:grob-array->list p-c-elts))
#f))
(stems-x-exts
(if stems
(map
(lambda (stem)
(ly:grob-extent
stem
(ly:grob-common-refpoint grob stem X)
X))
stems)
'()))
(sane-ext
(filter interval-sane? stems-x-exts))
(cars (map car sane-ext)))
(if (pair? cars)
(abs (- (apply max cars) (apply min cars)))
0)))
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\consists #Span_stem_engraver
}
}
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "1" {
\pushNC
g''4*1/8 s16.
}
\new Staff = "2" {
\clef "bass"
\override Beam.auto-knee-gap = 1
\override Beam.positions =
#(grob-transformer 'positions
(lambda (grob original) (coord-translate original -1)))
\override TupletBracket.direction = #DOWN
\override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t
\tuplet 5/4 {
\crossStaff <b,! f>32[
\change Staff = "1"
c''' bis'
\change Staff = "2"
a <b, f>]
}
