Arpeggios
I am transcribing a score, and in the final part I found an arpeggio that crosses both staves and has 2 different voices, I have tried to do it but I have not succeeded. How can I do it?
Have a good day :)

See #65806: Allow correct playback of cross-staff/voice arpeggios
You can't get correct playback but you can get it to look right. For the last measure, enter the top 4 notes in voice 1 of staff 1 and the next 3 in voice 2 of staff 1. Finally enter the D in voice 1 of the bottom staff. Click the stem on the voice 2 notes and press = to disable auto placement then drag the bottom grab box down so it overlaps the D in the bottom staff. Select a note in voice 1 of the top staff and apply the arpeggio. Click it so the grab boxes appear and click the bottom one. Press shift + the down arrow and the arpeggio will be displayed across the staves. This only works if the notes are in the same voice so you cannot use shift+ down arrow in the previous measure. You will need to drag the grab box on the arpeggio so it looks like it covers all of the notes.
See Jojo's link for more info and links to other possible workarounds that include proper playback.
