7.1 Piano music

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 same notation is also used for harps and other key instruments. The PianoStaff is especially built to handle this cross-staffing behavior. In this section we discuss the PianoStaff and some other pianistic peculiarities.

Bugs
