hi.

Would it be possible to have a function in NOtion that makes it possible to move notes between staves that belong to a grand staff?
I know Notion has a function called "Cross - Staff" but it's not what I'm talking about.

This new command would disconnect the note from a beam group, substitute it with a rest and then move it to the adjacent staff, keeping its effective position and incorporating it in the notes that are already there (or inserting rests before / after, accordingly to its position on the bar)

Example: I import a piano piece from S1. The split point gets everything nice and in the right place, but for a couple bars I want to move a few notes from the right hand (treble clef) to the left hand (bass clef)

The command I'm requesting would let me select a note (or a series of notes) and then would transfer them to the top staff to the bottom, while maintaining the same musical position.

Every time I work with NOTION I end up wishing that command existed.

Many thanks

Same here, I import piano tracks a lot from studio 4 and this feature would be most welcome. What is the workaround now?

I would also like to see cross-staff slurring.

I beggars belief that the ability to select a sequence of individual notes and manipulate them independently of the unselected notes in the measure, does not exist.  I want my money back so I can spend it on a competent program.
