Haydn scoring query
Any Haydn scholars out there?
I am transcribing Haydn's keyboard Sonata in A (Hob 26) and around measure 22 I cannot understand the proper way to play this measure. It seems to me that to keep the count for the measure correct in each stave that the triplets with have to be on top of one another but that when the triplets are played in sequence (as I think they are meant to be) then this means that the counts are incorrect. Does anyone have any insight into the correct notation for both staves for this measure?

I think that just the silence above and down the triplet are invisible. Type as you need, and then select both silence that needs to be invisible and un check visible box in the inspector.
It arrives sometimes in piano sheet music to hide silence, when there is an uniuqe melodic line (i think)
I would enter the two triplets in the treble clef stave, hide the quaver rest which is its equivalent in the Bass clef and then use cross staff to shift the first triplet down to the Bass clef stave. That way there is only one rest to hide
Thank you for the suggestions and I'll try them out and post some variants.
OK, I'm siding with Lamardelmy on this one (but showing all the rests). Cross-staff beaming is attractive but I feel easier switching from left to right hands here so cross-staff beaming would, I feel, be less appropriate. Sounds OK, to me, anyway especially as there is clear separation, now, between the staccatissimo high E and the start of the triplets on the beat and I appreciate that the trill really is best hanging on that quarter note rather than on anything shorter. Thank you both.
