Crossings on SetPartition ​

Pairs of arcs a < b < c < d with a~c and b~d.

On SetPartition

Read off the standard arc representation: within each block, consecutive elements are linked, and a crossing is two arcs whose spans interleave rather than nest or sit apart.

Called as CombinatorialStat(x, "Crossings"). The head's page has its examples.
