    What is the correct notation used to depict a ‘cross-under?’

    Thanks!

    I don’t know what you are asking. Are you talking about a scale-like passage where the 3rd or 4th finger crosses under the thumb? There is no notation for that. You just put the fingering if you need to and the harpist knows what to do.

    I regularly see cross-unders and cross-overs notated by an x between the fingerings of the notes.

    I have never seen that. Maybe it is something that the lever harpists do. It’s never done on pedal harp.
