Cross Stave Notation
Hi All,
I needed to do some cross stave notation in a couple of bars in an arrangement, but despite thoroughly and carefully following the instructions for doing this from the Online Handbook for Musescore 3, it ain't happening. The most likely explanation is, that although I THINK I'm following the instructions correctly/carefully, I'm doing something wrong, BUT just in case I'm not, can anyone advise/help? Thank you!

Is the score using a single instrument with 2 staves of 2 instruments with one staff each? You need the former

Hi Jojo, yes it's a single instrument - a piano part where an arpeggio goes from the bass to the tenor clef. I've found a way round it in this instance, but would still like to be able to do it in future!

Hi Marc, MuseScore score O_Mio_Babbino_Caro.mscz O_Mio_Babbino_Caro.mscz attached; I was trying to get an arpeggio running from the bass (L.H.) part to the treble (R.H.) as one linked phrase (these were originally going to be in bars 7, 13 and 20). . I input and then highlight the first note and click on Control & Shift as in the Online Manual instructions - but nothing happens. Nothing at all!

Which note are you clicking? I tried all notes in measure 7 bass clef staff, and they all work. But - are you maybe forgetting the Up cursor key? Indeed, Ctrl+Shift don't do anything by themselves.

Ah! Now it makes sense! I'd read the instructions as just Ctrl & Shift, and not the Up cursor key as well. Knew it just had to be me! Thanks for your time & help!
