Hello,

in the following snippet, I can obtain a cross-staff tremolo:

However, in this way, I'm forced to fill the "up" staff with invisible rests ( in this case:  s4. ) for the duration of the tremolo. Is there a way to avoid this and use only one music _expression_ for the cross-staff notes?

Thanks

I am not a Lilypond expert, but I believe the answer is no.  The reason is that in order to change staff to "up", Lilypond needs to have that staff "alive."  If there is no "up" staff, then there is no way to change to it.
