Composer lets you move selected notes between adjacent staves. This option is particularly useful after you have used the Split Hands command to split a keyboard part into left- and right-hand staves. Although Composer does a good job splitting hands, it may not do it perfectly. Composer lets you correct any mistakes the Split Hands command might make in distributing notes between the left and right hands.

To move one or more notes between adjacent staves:

1.	Enter Select Mode.

2.	Select one or more notes by clicking or click-dragging the mouse.

3.	Choose the Move Up One Staff or Move Down One Staff command in the Staff Assignment submenu Note menu to move the selected notes to an adjacent staff.

-- OR --

Type Shift+ (or Shift+) for Move UpOne Staff (or Move Down One Staff).
