Cross-staffing problem

Greetings - I’m trying to do cross-staff notes while incorporating clef changes and 8va transpositions. I’ve attached a screenshot of what I want to accomplish. There are several places in the score where this happens, and they’re all a little different. Is there a general workflow I can use in this kind of situation?

Screenshot is attached.

Thanks for your help.

Let’s say you have entered the notes in the top staff, you can enter the clefs in the bottom staff with the caret:

(Num 0 — the zero of the numpad — is my custom shortcut for space)

The only problem I had was the 8va on the cross staff, so I faked it with a line.

Doesn’t it work with caret+space?

Ah, yes, so it does.

Thanks for your help. I can’t get the 8va to show on the last three notes.

Did you enter all the notes in the bass staff and crossed them upwards? In that case, place the caret (note input mode) in the upper staff at the D, shift-C, 8, enter, space, space, space. (as @charles_piano reminded me)
