on 2nd thought, isn't this completely different from x-staff stemming 
for piano chords? In piano chords, note heads from a single voice are 
distributed across two staves, but form essentially one voice.

If you have stems across violin and bass staff, you want to have 
separate accidentals, articulations, etc, and the stem should  rather be 
a "spanning" construct, that just connects the stems of individual 
instruments, right?
