| 13 | Cross-staff stems | |
| 14 | </H3> | |
| 15 | <P> | |
| 16 | Sometimes, on music for instruments that use more than one staff, | |
| 17 | you may want some of the notes of a chord to be printed on | |
| 18 | the staff above or below, rather than using a lot of leger lines. | |
| 19 | You can specify this by putting the word "with" before the notes that | |
| 20 | are to go on the other staff, and following those notes with "above" or "below" | |
| 21 | to specify which is the other staff. | |
| 22 | For example: | |
| 23 | <BR><PRE> | |
| 24 | score | |
| 25 | staffs=2 | |
| 26 | staff 2 | |
| 27 | clef=bass | |
| 28 | music | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | 1: 1e+g+c++; | |
| 31 | 2: cc+; ee+; g with g+ above; with c+c++ above; | |
| 32 | bar | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | 1: cc+; g with g- below; e with e- below; with cc- below; | |
| 35 | 2: 1c-e-g-; | |
| 36 | bar | |

| 41 | The notes for the other staff have to follow the notes on the normal staff in | |
| 42 | the input. As is shown in the example, | |
| 43 | it is possible to have <I>all</I> the notes on the "other" staff, if you wish. | |
| 44 | The octave is specified as if the note were on the normal staff; | |
| 45 | Mup will automatically adjust appropriately for the other staff's clef. | |
| 46 | Once in a while, Mup may not be able to figure out how to completely | |
| 47 | avoid colliding with other notes; in that case you can use the | |
| 48 | <A HREF="chrdattr.html#hoffset">horizontal offset</A> | |
| 49 | that was described earlier. | |
| 50 | </P> | |
| 51 | <P> | |
| 52 | For | |
| 53 | <A HREF="midi.html">MIDI</A> | |
| 54 | purposes, only the normal staff's key signature and accidentals are | |
| 55 | considered, so if the other staff has a different | |
| 56 | <A HREF="param.html#key">key signature</A> | |
| 57 | or accidentals that should really apply to these notes, you will have | |
| 58 | to supply accidentals explicitly. | |
