joining the note lines of treble and bass clef
Hey! I was wondering if it were possible to join the lines of the treble and bass clefs for instruments which include both (piano, harp...). In certain melodic passages, I progress from the bass clef up through the treble and vice verca, And which the note lines (tails) to join so it appears as one smooth passage. At the moment I have to add rests in between the notes which are not actioned in the particular clef and it is a little time consuming and messy in appearance.. If not available at the moment is it a feature that could be implemented? It's the only thing I find missing with the software!

If by 'note lines' or 'tails' you mean beams, see:

Ah, that is indeed what I was after, however, the feature is pretty rough and doesn't work for my needs. Thanks for the support anyway :)

From the description of your issue though, that feature sounds as the exact thing you'd require..
Can you share a picture of what your desired end result should look like? Perhaps a different feature or workaround can be advised then.

Perhaps the OP's problem is with the rests in the stave that the cross staff note are moved to. If so, be aware that these can be made invisible by selecting the offending rests (click on first rest, shift click on last rest). Then right click -> select -> All similar in range selection and press V. It may be easier to do this before shifting the cross staff notes, as they may over lap the rests on the "move to" stave.
Thanks for the responses guys!
I have attached a screenshot of an example I made for this purpose. The first bar is currently how I have designed this A Mj7 arp, the second bar is my best attempt at joining the bar lines for both clefs. However as you can see, there are a few notes not connected (G and B), I was hoping to represent it as one smooth passage and have the tails of every note in the bar connected if possible?
The comment about hiding the rests is greatly appreciated! That was my other concern and it's awesome that it is already possible so thanks :)

Just to add to this as well, I would rather the bar lines all going the same direction (either all up or all down) on both clefs :)

Put all of the notes on the same staff
make the rests you won't need invisible
use the beam properties palette to connect beams if needed
use cross-staff to move the notes you need moved to the other staff.

By the might of the holy jam, you nailed it. This is the greatest thing since the discovery of coffee. Thanks a bunch!
