Kenneth’s almost definitely right.
However, resetting cross-staff notation to put notes back on their original staves only does half the job - it’ll just give you all the piano chords on ONE stave.

My advice is:

  1. Do what Kenneth says. Make a note of which stave the notes all jump to. I’m going to assume treble in the following instructions.
  2. Ctrl/Cmd-Z to undo what Kenneth’s suggested.
  3. Select everything on the bass staff (either by drawing a marquee selection or by clicking the first note, holding Shift and then clicking the last note)
  4. Type N. You should see everything from the bass stave jump to the treble stave but remain selected.
  5. Ctrl/Cmd-X to cut.
  6. Put the caret in place to start note entry in the bass staff.
  7. Ctrl/Cmd-V to paste.

If I was wrong about all the notes originating in the treble stave then swap my basses for trebles and my trebles for basses.

This took 5 minutes to write, but takes about 5 seconds to do. Good luck!
