Re: Beam.positions affecting space between staves

[Leo Correia de Verdier]

Common beams for both staves, sometimes pulled outside them are used in contemporary music when the resultant rhythm from both staves of a single instrument are significantly easier to grasp than the separate rhythms of the separate staves. It also hints at both staves having a common voice or musical material.  19 aug. 2024 kl. 21:52 skrev Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com>:  On Mon, 19 Aug 2024 at 01:51, Karim Haddad <karim.had...@ircam.fr> wrote: > > Hi > > I know there is a simple solution for this but cannot find it. > > When applying \override Beam.positions in order to raise the beam of a grouped rythm above the first staff: > > 1) it doesn't overlapp the first staff > 2) an extra space is created (i imagine to avoid collision) > > How can i make it happen. Hello, I would use cross-staff stems in the lower staff and invisible note heads in the upper staff. But this notation is not conventional, what is it supposed to represent/signify?
