I would like to move all notes below a given split point down to the next staff, but want the notation below, not the sort with the beams between the staff. I don't see how to do that with the TGTools plug-in (which seems to always put the beam between) or the Note Mover (which doesn't seem to have a split point). Is there a way? I have 30 or so measures to do.

Hi Motet,

This has worked for me:

1. Unbeam all notes
2. Apply Cross Staff Plugin
3. Apply Patterson Beam Selection to the whole selection.

Just to report, rebeam to time signature (6 eighth notes) removed the beams, then the cross-staff plug-in, then rebeam to time signature (1 dotted half) beamed them as in the picture.

Thanks again.
