Hi, For the musicxml2ly application, I'm looking into how to convert cross-staff chords in PianoStaves (i.e. chords that have some notes in the upper and some in the lower staff). The documentation talks about these in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Cross-staff-stems#Cross-staff-stems
However, this approach is not possible for me in musicxml2ly (apart from the fact, that I think that this is a terribly hackish workaround, but no proper way), because I'm already inside a voice and can't easily created another voice. The other issues I have with that workaround are that - the stem length is not known at all (sometimes 20 might be required, sometimes only 10 and 20 would look awkward), so i can't automate this setting - The no-flag does not work at all for beamed chords I'm attaching a sample which displays these problems. In short, as this is no option for me, is there any other / better way to split a chord upon two staves and produce the result as shown in the attached file 14c-StaffChange-Finale-Ref.pdf (created in Finale)?
