Piano music

Piano music is an odd type of notation. Piano staves are two normal staves coupled with a brace. The staves are largely independent, but sometimes voices can cross between the two staves. The PianoStaff is especially built to handle this cross-staffing behavior. In this section we discuss the PianoStaff and some other pianistic peculiarities.

BUGS

There is no support for putting chords across staves. You can get this result by increasing the length of the stem in the lower stave so it reaches the stem in the upper stave, or vice versa. An example is included with the distribution as input/test/stem-cross-staff.ly.
