I used hyperscribe for this attachment. How do I define the split point?
For example I would like the G afterbeats to be in the bass clef. Thanks.

Have you tried this? The G is 55, so try 56.

Your sample file is correct - most pianists can read a G below the staff. Moving it to the bass staff is wrong, gimmicky and amateurish.

You are right - my sample is "correct." And pianists can read it as is. However I must respectfully disagree with the rest of your statement. If you had known that I played it as written in the new attachment below, you would clearly see my intention, which is not gimmicky at all. That should also sufficiently address the last adjective you used. It is precisely for this reason that I wanted the after-beats shifted to the left hand in the printed version, so that the performer would see an alberti accompaniment against a simple melody.
