Looks like you dragged the second A with the Simple Entry tool instead of the Note Mover. Put that note back, and enter both downstem notes in the left hand and flip the stems down. Then use the Note Mover. Make sure Cross Staff is checked in the menu, click the top staff so that handles appear on each note, then drag the handles.

No need for two layers (that makes it harder).

Thank you, motet,
I did now with only 1 layer, but when I move the second E note the first one disappear,
and also happens that once the A moved to the second staff the A on the first staff continues visible

Hard to say what's going wrong. I don't know what you mean by "E note." If you've turned off "Automatic Update Layout" or "Automatic Music Spacing" in Preferences, they should be ON.

Mistake: I wanted to say "A" note

"Automatic Update Layout" and "Automatic Music Spacing" in Preferences are ON.

Thank you very much anyway for your time, motet.
Could you please attach the file of that measure made by you in Finale? I'd like copy it
