I am posting this in the Beginner section because although I've used Finale for dcades, I am suddenly a beginner!

I forgot how to do this!

I pasted a passageconsosting of 4 note chords into one of the two staves of a Grand Staff.

I want one command that will send all the notes below a split point to the lower staff.

I don;t want to do it note by note with Cross Staff tool. (Which I , luckily still remember !)

There might be something in JW Staff Polyphony that will do it. Or maybe someone has written a Lua script. But I don’t think Finale has a way built-in.

Try Plug-ins > Scoring and Arranging > Split Point.
