Is their a name for that kind of notation like the note beams of the bass clef is connected to the beams of the treble clef?

I don't know the name but am interested as well as there are several pieces that I am currently playing that use that kind of beaming.

They are:

1. Relay Race by Jon George
2. Scaly Things by Stephen Chatman
3. Asteroids by Christopher Norton
4. Crocodile Teeth by Nancy Telfer
5. The wind by Chee-Hwa Tan
6. Study in C Major op.261 no. 81 by Czerny (not beaming but peculiar notation i.e. no rests)
7. Witches and Wizards by Christine Donkin (practically half the piece has this beaming)

I had never seen this before and it struck me as peculiar at first but then I decided that I'm just inexperienced as I found more and more pieces using this type of notation.

I can't help but feel there are missing rests that should have been printed. I think it makes for a less busy score (less black ink) and is intended to perhaps keeps the legato flowing between the hands. It may also be a lot easier to read. I may write out a few bars just to see.

Maybe its just a printer's typesetting thing or a peculiarity of certain publishers? Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience with you. If I find out more about this, I'll post again, Joe.

I don't know if it has a name, but it is very clear and easy to read. Not sure if it would work if there were other notes present, though.

It's okay, I don't have to know it, It's just probably notes crossing to two staffs, I just need to know it because I don't know how to notate it in a music notation software but I was already able to.
