Dale, I'm thinking that the stem extends to the other staff, and that there's another note head at the other end, on that staff, with any necessary flags in-between. Not positive on this, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this type of note construction in my past.

I know how to create them, but I also would like to know what they look like. Is it just that the stem is long enough to stretch into the other staff? Thanks for taking the time to respond.
