well, I do my best to reduce the number of crossings, but if I have to 
avoid crossings completely, I'll just avoid Pd...

Pd doesn't make it easy to avoid crossings.

Not all crossings are even bad. Crossings that are ambiguous-looking are 
very bad. Too many crossings in the same area is bad, except if the 
crossings are very regular-looking (a line crossing a bunch of parallel 
lines is more orderly than a line crossing a bunch of random-angled 
lines).
