Re: The "R.H." instruction with 45 degree slope down and up from treble to bass clef: How?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi Werner;

  I must be missing something obvious.


  I have attached my Llypond source and the engraving created by Lilypond.

  I have also attached a screenshot of the origin PDF file showing the
one measure that I'm trying to implement the cross-staff lines.

  I decided to attach a screenshot of my editor (splitting into two
vertically) showing my staff definitions in the score section and my
\changeStaff calls in the Lilypond source.

  What follows is the response from Lilypond after I tried
implementing the "\changeStaff":
