Description
Task description
In piano scores, sometimes there are needs for a chord to span over both upper and lower staff:
Currently in MuseScore 4, the above is not possible. It can only move the entire chord to upper or lower staff.
I'm aware of a workaround described at https://musescore.org/en/node/8717, but it's not an ideal way to do that and it creates unnecessary complexity to the score, especially if the notes are complicated as the above example.
