i have the sheets for Rob D's "clubbed to death" from the Matrix and during a few measures there is a third staff played an octave above what your right hand is already doing, and your left hand is playing the bass clef already. whats a person to do?

Looks like you need to hold the pedal during the right-hand notes (that is, if they need to be sustained under the higher notes), and make a jump to the notes above. This is somewhat common in music of Debussy, and it makes it easier than writing on the normal two staves.

I just found the sheet music. It looks like its scored for piano and another instrument. You could re-write it so that the right hand plays that separate melody.
i watched one of my youtube friends playing it and she just hits the whole note from the bass clef with her left hand, then shifts hands so her left plays the treble and the right plays that third higher up staff. bluh...i think i might just leave that part out :-X
searching...
