Does the bass clef notate only notes played by the left hand, or does it show the lower chords, even if it "borrows" from the right hand?
Which of the following two settings is typographically correct?
La clé de fa n'affiche-t-elle que les notes jouées par la main gauche, ou affiche-t-elle les accords les plus graves, même si elle «emprunte» de la main droite ?
Lequel des deux suivants est typographiquement correct ?

Bonjour Tony,
D'après mes souvenirs de mes cours de piano, les deux sont possibles.
Si une main joue ce qui est sur les 2 portées (pour une question de lisibilité), alors les tiges sont allongées pour traverser jusqu'à l'autre portée, quand cela est possible.
Cela dépend de la complexité de la partition, le 2e exemple est à mon sens plus lisible.
Mais, dans ton exemple, la main gauche peut tout jouer donc il n'y a pas besoin de cette complication.
Si la main gauche devait jouer un "la" du premier interligne (en bas) de la clé de fa, alors oui, il faudrait les 2 mains pour exécuter l'accord la/fa/la/do.

Pianists generally play the bottom staff with the left hand and the top staff with the right. Notes intended to be played by the "wrong" hand are indicated somehow. The traditional abbreviations are "m.s." (manus sinistra, left hand) and "m.d." (manus dextera, right hand), or the equivalent abbreviation in the composer's language (m.g./m.d.; l.h./r.h.; etc.).
Organists are taught to play whatever notes they can with both hands indifferently, regardless of how they are written on the page. In condensed scores, the bottom notes are usually considered to be the pedal part, but strictly speaking, the pedal should get its own staff.
I once asked my organ teacher about how to finger a particular passage, and his reply was it didn't matter; you just played the notes however you could!
