RE: cross-staff stems

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Carl,

 

The location of the command seems dependent on whether the stem is extending down or extending up. At the present it seems, to me, that the command is attached to the pitch(es) from which the stem is extended. As you noted in my the stem was extended down from voice two in the upped staff and therefore the command had to be there.

Please take your time, and thanks for working on this!

 

Didn't the problem occur because the crossStaff request was in a voiceTwo context in the lower staff (i.e. a stem down context in the lower staff) which is not conducive to cross-staff stems)?
