Cross-staff chords is one of the very first features I tried in
lilypond and could not achieve. I used to teach Finale and gave a
Satie example as an exercise to my students; when I switched to
lilypond I could not use the piece (first Gnossienne) any more, you
can not ask for such a complicated exercise at the initial stages of
learning, but it was fairly easy with the afore mentioned visual
package. The idea was: you select a special tool, choose a measure
and a number of handles appear on noteheads. Then just drag and drop
notes onto the desired staff. In lilypond we have not a syntax for
this but we do have one for simple cross staff voices, so I guess we
have a small step done towards this. Remember, however, that a syntax
is not by far all you need to have for a feature to work.
I'd be delighted to sponsor the feature. ¿A price?
