Grace note on different clef
Well, says it all really. In a piano score, how do I put a grace note in the treble clef and the main note in the bass clef?

Are you referring to 2 different staves, or the same stave with a clef change?
In reply to Are you referring to 2 by xavierjazz
No, two staves - a normal two-stave piano score, with treble and bass clefs, the grace note in the treble (i.e. upper) clef/stave and the main note in the bass (i.e. lower) clef/stave.

Is this for fingering purposes?

No - it's for a "hard" ending to a piece consisting of a grace note octave B in the right hand / treble clef to the main note, B, again in octaves, in the left hand / bass clef.
Place both in the same clef. Move one with cross-staff beaming.

And for more informantion on cross-staff, see the corresponding section of the Handbook.
Note you need to be on the most current version (2.0.2) in order for this to work properly with grace notes.

Doesn't seem to work. I'm pretty sure I'm on 2.0, but how do I find out if I'm on 2.0.2? Also, I'm not sure if the cross-beaming solution would work anyway, because grace notes aren't beamed to main notes.

They don't have to be beamed. To see your current version, go to Help / About. If it's at least 2.0, please post the score you are having problems with and steps to reproduce the problem. Normally, though, it's as simple as click the note you want to move then press Ctrl+Shift+Down (or Up) to move to the staff below (or above).
One thing - the two staves do have to belong to the same instrument. You can't move notes from a flute staff to an oboe staff, for example. Or, if writing piano music, you need a single piano instrument with two staves, not two piano instruments with one staff each.

I'm on 2.0.2. I'm also sure my example meets your criteria above. When I select either or both grace notes in the example below, nothing happens when I do CTRL + SHIFT + down arrow, and when I do that combination with the up arrow it move I know an old lady Example2.mscz s both grace notes down an octave and a third to D. (The key signature should be B major, but that shouldn't affect the outcome.
