Musescore Evolution 3.7 Cross-Staff Notation Problem

• May 11, 2025 - 11:20

Cross staff notation with Musescore 3.7 produces a rather odd result

Same thing in Musescore 3.6.2 is correct (aside from a bit of manual repositioning)

Seems to depend on if a note or rest proceeds the cross-staff.

OS: Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601: SP 1), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.7.0.14952198358, revision: e3c89a0

I get
cross-staff3.7_2.png
I can correct it by dragging the middle C to the right but it's still not positioned quite right to the following rest (too close).

You must not go so far with the Decrease Layout Stretch in the software that the two notes are on top of each other. This happens and because one stem points downwards and one upwards, there is an overlap.

You have to keep the beat ...

However, if you use system breaks, you must set them at least at measure 8 or 9!
At least in my environment and with this file and in 3.7.

You must give two consecutive notes a minimum interval of two eighths, even with cross staff notation, not zero!
