Ok, so the answer is no. Here is the disappointing explanation:
No, Crescendo does not currently auto‑assign live MIDI input to two staves by pitch in the way dedicated notation DAWs like Dorico or Notion do. A forum reply to a user asking how to “split grand staff notes into treble and bass clef automatically” confirms that Crescendo does not offer this option for MIDI notation input.
What Crescendo can do
For MIDI file import, Crescendo has a Split option in the MIDI import track configuration that can divide notes onto a grand staff using a fixed or automatic split point (e.g., around middle C). This is different from real‑time entry from a keyboard and only applies when converting an existing MIDI file into notation.
Practical workaround
To approximate piano notation:
Record your performance to a single staff with MIDI input, then manually move lower notes to a bass staff afterward.
Or record the left hand and right hand on separate passes, targeting the bass and treble staves separately, which avoids needing an automatic split.
If automatic real‑time splitting is essential, consider a notation program that explicitly supports MIDI input split points (like setting a crossover key for grand staff entry) and then exporting MusicXML or MIDI for use in Crescendo.
