10.5 Cross-Staff Beaming<br />

Cross-staff beaming is very easy to accomplish in <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong>. Select the notes<br />

you want to cross-staff and choose Up one staff or Down one staff from the contextual<br />

menu’s Cross staff submenu.<br />

The notes that you want to cross-staff can be selected in any of the three ways: by<br />

creating an entry selection, by creating a note selection, or by drag and select<br />

outside Input mode.<br />

Macintosh: In Input mode, you can also move the notes using the shortcuts A-<br />

up arrow and A-down arrow.<br />

Windows: In Input mode, you can also move the notes using the shortcuts Shift-<br />

Alt-up arrow or Shift-Alt-down arrow.<br />

When cross-staffing has been applied to a note and the note is clicked, a blue<br />

arrow indicates the note’s default position, as shown below:<br />

Note that you are able to perform additional cross-staff operations of a note if the<br />

associated musician uses several staves, e.g., a piano on four staves.
