As measure 1 in the attached?

Yes. the measure 1 you did is what I want. May I ask how you made it? I only can make the stem cross staff (See attached measure 3), but I cannot connect the beam together. How to use one voice for cross -staff notation? Please advise. Thanks

Jojo showed you the link to the handbook page. Follow the instructions.
In measure 1 I have inserted the notes (Voice 1) in the upper and lower stave;
In measure 2 I held down Ctrl and selected the first three notes (B, G, E). Then Ctrl+Shift + ↑
In measure 3 same procedure for the notes (B, G) of the upper stave Ctrl+Shift + ↓

Thanks for your reply. I did read the handbook. I did figure out the bass part cross staff notation, but for upper stave cross staff notation, I followed your direction, still cannot have all the stems in the same direction. (see attached m. 4 last beat.) For first 3 measures upper stave it's possible to move the notes (B,G) down. But for the measure 4, the stems are not in the same direction. I compared all the setting, they are same, but don't know why it cannot move like first 3 measures. Please advise.

Select (click) the note, press X
see: https://musescore.org/it/node/278600#flip-note-beam
https://musescore.org/it/node/278600#adjust-beam-angle
or double click the beam and use the handles.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I didn't find the answer in the handbook, but I did figured out the problem. I compared the setting of the first 3 measures you wrote for me, and the 4th measure of my own writing. I found out the beam custom position settings are different. Anyway, thanks again for your help.

You only have to enter the notes of Voice 1 both in the left and right hand (thus avoiding unnecessary rests). Afterwards you will move them as mentioned above.

Thanks for your help.
The problem is that you're not using cross staff notation at all
Take a look at the attached (ueses just one voice and cross -staff notation all the way thru) and at https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/cross-staff-notation
