NOTATIO

Hi again,
I have composed this bar of music and notated it four different ways. I would appreciate your thoughts about which version of the notation would be best for the pianist to read. I am currently liking version A and D...
Hope you are all well
Cheerio,

B without question, though most of your rests are redundant when compressed onto just one stave.

IMHO D is horrible, as a pianist I wouldn’t think of two separate rhythms in two separate hands here. I’m not sure whether to prefer A or C, maybe kneed beams are more legible?
How about one of these? I included the variant “B without redundant rests” mentioned by Schonbergian.

WhIle I would usually prefer that such a passage stay on one staff as at B, in this case I think there is a great danger that the rhythm will be difficult to read unless the chords are beamed continuously. This requires that they be on different staves. So I would vote for A/C above with the the beams completely continuous:

Many thanks, all, for your considered opinions and finely wrought examples. Much appreciated
I will take time to examine all these possibilities.
Cheerio,
Hector.

BTW, for the B version Finale doesn't make the correct beaming. You can follow this instruction video to make them correctly:

Thanks, OCTO! The video is very helpful!
