Re: Unusual cross-staff stem in Bartók

[Arle Lommel]

Thank you. This seems to do it nicely. I’d not submitted a MWE because I didn’t have anything I was confident was even the right sort of starting point and was looking for a pointer where to even start. Fortunately (for me), you filled the gap very nicely with this. I’ll need to adapt it for the contexts where I need it, but I see how now.

This would be a useful snippet to add to the repository.
