Re: Cross-staff stems and ottava for one voice only

[Shane Brandes]

 I ran into this problem way back with version 2.12. It is always
annoying. Try replacing your lower staff with the following. You can I
am sure clean up the funny rest position.

regards,

Shane

lowerStaffTop = \relative c {
  \hideTimeSignature \time 5/4
  e2. ~ e2
  \hideTimeSignature \time 3/4
  \stemDown
  \acciaccatura { <fs b>8 } <<{s8 \change Staff = "upper" \stemDown
\crossStaff <cs' e>8^. ) ~\crossStaff <cs e>2 }\\{ <e, a>8 <e a
>8\laissezVibrer  \ottava #-1 a,,,4 r4 }>> |
}

lowerStaffBottom = \relative c {
  \hideTimeSignature \time 5/4
  a2. ~ a2
  \hideTimeSignature \time 3/4
 s4 ~ <e a>2
}
