Support for cross-staff beaming within a chord
The attached jpg shows a harp part where the bottom note of a chord is in the bass cleff and the upper two notes are in the treble cleff. As far as I know, MuseScore (2.02) doesn't support this; when I try to replicate the chord in MuseScore it moves the entire chord to the other staff, working with individual chord notes for cross-staff beaming is not an option.

Correct, you have to fake it by using multiple voices, extending stems, hiding rests & flags, etc. See #14687: Split chord across staves in cross-staff notation
"Extending stems" is probably the best way to fake it for now.
Thanks for the feedback; I was actually wondering if this could go into the queue for enhancements. I understand it would be a low priority since the work-arounds are fairly simple.

Given the presence of issue #14687: Split chord across staves in cross-staff notation, I'd say it is in the queue.

BTW, I should note the second part of that request is already implemented for 2.0. I actually did that on the plane on the way to the Google Summer of Code Reunion in California last fall :-)
