Slur going from treble to bass clefs and back again
Hi,
Does anyone know how to get a slur that encompasses all notes in a bar that starts in the treble clef goes down to the bass and then back up all in one sweep?
I've read stuff about going from one clef to another but not back again and I can't get it to work or look good in the score.
See examples in bars 3, 4 and 5. What I want is something that looks like bar 5 but goes beneath the bass clef. When I try to stretch the slur there it adds space between the clefs rather than encompassing the bass notes. Bar 6 is the only way I can get it to (kinda) work but it doesn't look good and is obviously 2 slurs rather than the one.
Thanks,
Dan

Ciao,
seleziona la legatura poi, in Ispettore togli il segno di spunta a posizionamento automatico ; così facendo potrai regolare la legatura senza problemi.

Buona Musica.

Thanks Claudio. Sadly I can't understand your words but the attached screenshot was very helpful.
You've already got a pedal marking. Do you really need anything else?

Just copying an old paper print out of some sheet music and that's how it's written.

Select the slur in bar 5. open the inspector. Uncheck Automatic placement. then you can shape the slur as you want.
Bar four makes more sense to me. Adjusted bar five kind of looks like a bowl of note soup.

One way to do this is to use cross staff notation. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/cross-staff-notation
The idea is that you put all the notes you want covered by the slur on the same staff. Add the slur and then move the notes you want to appear on the other staff using CTRL + SHIFT + UP or DOWN. The slur will probably look very wonky at first but you can shape it nicely using its various handles.

Thanks for the reply. Sadly I get the same issue with this approach as seen in my bar 5 example above and then have the added issue of no rests appearing for the treble clef and the rests still being there for the bass clef. I could hide these obviously and add in a second voice and implode but ultimately I'd still need to untick the automatic placement checkbox for the slur so I might as well stick with that solution.
Thanks anyway.

If you attach a picture of what you want it to look like, we may be able to assist better.

Thanks, this is what Claudio suggested and whilst not perfect seems to work best.
