Re: Faulty extra beam with manual beam and cross-staff stems

Hi Jean,
indeed. I retract my bug report.
Your solution works in the case where I specify \crossStaff in the lower staff (or both) and, as you say, the manual beams only in the upper staff.
And no, this is pretty far from perfect and could also benefit from being made clear in the NR.
Cheers,
Ole
