The documentation ( https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-keyboards#cross_002dstaff-stems ) shows an example with the \crossStaff in the bass clef staff: \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 e'2 } \new Staff { \clef bass \voiceOne \autoBeamOff \crossStaff { <e g>4 e, g16 a8. c8} d \autoBeamOn g8 f g4 c2 } >>} -- Knute Snortum
