Cross staves with 9 line staff

Hello all again,

I need to get one player like this. It is a percussion player that taps the strings with a beater. the lower staff is the strings and the upper staff is the beater position on the string. sometimes there is a lot of positions and then I do an extra large staff.

I can’t manage to get this in dorico. to have one player, so he can do a cross staff and have the upper staff with (in this case) 9 lines.

if I use piano in dorico I have both of the staves 9 lines etc…

help ?

yes,

the problem for me is that I need a cross staves chord. And : I need it to be possible to import it with xml..

forgot to mention xml sorry !

Did you try to create an instrument with 9 and a 5-line staff in Finale and import it to Dorico? Don’t know if it works, though.

Jesper

dorico reject the call

"staff-details number=“1”

 staff-lines>9</staff-lines

/staff-details

staff-details number=“2”

staff-lines>5</staff-lines

/staff-details"

impossible to get the code here without strange layout

I dont think a Dorico two staff instrument can have different number of staff lines. Sorry. Worth a try, though.

Jesper

well not a piano. but with percussion you can. and I can do manually a cross staff chord. but I don’t manage to import it with xml…

could you paste a two note chord onto two staves ?

Don’t know.
