Re: cross-staff stems for only two of three staves

[Malte Meyn]

Hi Stephen,

thank you for your reply. (Please always reply to the list.)

I should have been clearer: I want three notes in three staves, all with 
stem up, and a stem only from the lower to the middle staff but not to 
the upper. (You suggested to omit the flag from the middle staff; that 
would be a good solution if I wanted the stem across all three staves.) 
Please have a look at the attached image (made with LilyPond and GIMP) 
to see what I mean.

Any other ideas?

Malte
