Hello!

How to make crossed stems? Like voice part in Pierrot Lunaire by Schoenberg?

I'm not sure I understand?

Normally all stems are vertical.
To make 2 stems cross each other, you must angle them.

Take a look at the attached file.

Is this what you mean?

Or do you mean something else (e. g. 2 beams that cross each other)?

Do you mean cross-staff notation? Can you post a picture, so Peter and I can see what you want?

Or could it be x noteheads (like in Sprechgesang with no exact pitch) ?

Sorry, I wrote it unprecisely.

Peter, miker and michelp - no, i was thinking about something else.

I don't know how to do that:

You can do the X's as articulations.

See the attached document.
