Hello,
I am typesetting a piano score, in which I have chords which I want to span
both staves. I've determined that this is still not possible, and found that
the only suggested workaround was to align notes on both staves and to
extend the stem of one of the notes to join with the other. Unfortu
Hello,
As far as I can tell, the automatic staff changing feature only works by
assigning a voice to a given staff ("up" or "down"). Say now that in your
voice you have chords, some notes of which should be on the upper staff
and others on the lower. It seems as though it's not currently possible
Hello,
As I understand that you have fast plans to release the next
stable version, Dr. Han-Wen & Mr. Nieuwenhuizen, I'm wondering
if I am allowed to do a round of complaining (all in good fun
of course) on the current state of things?
Jérémie.
