Unusual cross staff beaming and tuplets

• Sep 7, 2011 - 13:07

I have been familiar with musescore for a long long time but have never actually used it much before. I have decided to try and spend some time using it and decided to start with Liszts transcendental etudes

http://imslp.org/wiki/%C3%89tudes_d%27ex%C3%A9cution_transcendante,_S.1…

However I ran into 2 problems with the very first bar of the very first etude :) Forgive me if I just being stupid :) but how do I do the first 19 semiquaver tuplet things. For the life of me I couldn't get the relation for the custom tuplet to give the right results. And is it possible to do the cross staff beaming of the very first note? Ctrl+Shift+down doesn't seem to work. I spent at least an hour banging my head against a solid brick wall trying to work these two problems out, alas to no avail. Although I think I know what the problem for the cross staff beaming is I don't actually know how to solve it. It isn't actually cross staff beaming but a chord spread over two staves???

Your help is very much appreciated

Is it possible to have multiple pieces in the same musescore for example having an entire symphony with multiple movements in the same file or in my example all 12 etudes in the same file? Or is it better to create them seperately??? At the moment I would assume it would be better to do each one seperatly because as far as I am aware you when you create a new score you can only have one title???

If you just started with MuseScore, one of the liszt's pieces is maybe not the best way to learn... be prepare to bang your head, even maybe buy an helmet...
That's being said, for the first beat see : http://musescore.org/en/node/8717
For the second beat, enter a quarter note, select it, go to Note -> Tuplets -> Others -> 19/4

Other problems you'll encounter, the ossia is not supporte and the weird construct on page 2 second staff neither.
