Slurs and beams between the staves
I am trying to do that (look at the pic attached) and keep failing. I've read the other threads related to the same problem and they didn't really help me.
Looking forward to find the answer! :) Thanks!

Make sure you are in Normal mode
Select the note where you want the slur to start.
Press (S) to add a slur extending to the next note.
Hold (Shift) and press right arrow key to extend to the next note and so on.
Press ESC to Exit

Thank you, Matrix793, I do know how to add the slur, but my problem is more with the beams between the staves.

I can't make the eighth notes to go like that, under one beam. Maybe I should put them on one staff first and play more with changing the layout (when I can place the note lower than the usual pitch for the staff)?

Thank you! I was doing that, but, I guess, I did something wrong :) Now the beam is fixed, but when I try to adjust the slur it extends the space between the staves. Any way to fix that?

How - exact steps are needed - are you trying to adjust the slur?
What version of MuseScore?
In reply to How exactly are you trying… by Jm6stringer
Version: 3.0.4.5763
Steps: double-click on a slur the usual way when you adjusting the size/shape of the slur by dragging the squares. When I drag one of the squares and try to pull it up, so it will go over the top notes, it will let me to change the shape of the slur but it moves the staves further and further away from each other.
I hope the description was understandable...

P.S. You might be able to click on the slur and untick 'Automatic placement' in the Inspector.
