How to make the cross staff

I’m working on a sheet music which include cross staff in the measure before the last measure I have tried a few times but I always get notes all super imposed. Please anyone can help me with this since I’m new to Dorico after 20 years with Finale. I have attached a jpg of the last 3 measures to see what is involved in replicating the same results

Thanks for you help and time

Best Regards

Germain

If you enter all the notes in the lower staff, use n to cross staff selected notes to the upper staff. If you enter all notes on the upper staff, use m to cross staff to the lower staff. Maybe you just need two voices in the upper staff instead.

Hi @Germain_Tremblay, following the suggestion by @jesele, here an example:

in flow 1 the notes that you need to input. Then select the last three notes in the left hand (actually 4 notes because of the fifth), and press N (like north pole=cross to staff above)
