How to input double beaming (upward+downward stem)?
I saw this in a score and I'm trying to reproduce it. I figured there were two voices with enharmonic notes, since the upper beaming is for sixteenth notes and the bottom one is for eighth notes. I tried to achieve this by using two voices, but when I input the second note, it also adds to the tab, but in another string.
This is what I'm trying to reproduce:
This is what my attempt gets:

From your second link, the command description reads "To move the fret mark to an adjacent string without changing the pitch (if the string is free and can produce that note)".
That's obviously not the case, so the user from the example I'm trying to reproduce must have thought some other way to do it.
Mark the undesired note on the tab staff as invisble.

Good idea! Is it possible to do so for all notes in a voice?

One way would be programatically editing the .mscx file, as it's XML. This might be a challenge on it's on, though...

Sure, you select them and then toggle visibility.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/selection-modes on how to select things.
Toggling visibility is done either in the Inspector (F8), or using the default shortcut key "V".
Just a simple two-step process, no need to resort to scripting or manual file editing or whatever.

Example attached.
Toggle View > Invisible for onscreen effect.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but perhaps it could be done by assigning the second voice two a different instrument that doesn't use the fretboard. Alternatively, perhaps I could finish writing the first voice and then dismember sheet and tab into different instruments, so then I could write the second voice only to the sheet. Are any of these possible?

...perhaps I could finish writing the first voice and then dismember sheet and tab into different instruments, so then I could write the second voice only to the sheet.
Instead of dismembering the completed sheet, start with empty unlinked staves. Write the first voice into the standard staff (the TAB will remain empty). Then copy the first voice into the TAB. Now you can write the second voice without it appearing on both the standard and TAB staves, because they are not linked..

I'll do something close to it: writing with the two staves is easier (and also I already have 32 measures and over 400 notes). I'll continue to do so until I finish the first voice. Then I'll change the first instrument to tab only, add a second instrument staff only and paste the tablature there and do the voicings. It's almost the same thing you suggested, so thanks!
