How split chord across staves (v3)
In v2 I could split a chord across staves by elongating the stem. In v3, the "other" staff automatically moves away! If I switch off automatic placement for the stems, I can make it work for a short time, but then when I change anything else, or save the score, the staves move apart again.
Here's an image of a starting position then a failed attempt after saving the score - see the lower staff has moved downwards to get away from the long stem!
Is there a way to stop the LH staff automatically moving away??

No, add a line :(
There is a bug for this being worked on. See #280677: Autoplacement won't allow a stem crossing staves which has been identified as needing to be fixed before the next release.

It hasn't been announced but my best guess is about 1 Feb. Anatoly has indicated in the past he intends to update MuseScore about once a month.
What about spacers?

@Marr11317, great idea! There is a spacer that says the space is always set and will help prevent the problem. It looks like
When you apply this, connecting stems works great.
