Bar crossing Tschaikovsky

Hi,
I’m still working on Tschaikowski’s Piano Concerto No. 1…

My question: How can I move the upper notes to the right-hand piano:

The original looks like this:

Do I have to do it manually by marking each upper note and do cross staff (that works) or can I do it otherwise? (that makes one more evening, because there are lots of bars…)?

Yours

Peter

Yes. But you can use ctrl-click to select lots of notes and then use N/M once to move them all.

(Edit: You could also do a marquee selection in the Key Editor to select the notes. That might be quicker)

Here is the link to my post How can one write alternating octaves? and Daniel’s solution in case it is useful.

Good link. I remember when I first needed to do some cross staff notation, especially with the beam centered. I had learned it the hard way. I no longer fear running into these kinds of problems, though. I’ve been able to grok Dorico over time because its so well designed.
