Just to clarify, I had no problems when I was singing in two different ranges. The difficulty would come if I had to sing the same range in the different mechanism. ie if I sang a phrase from say middle C to the G above in falsetto, I could then not do the same phrase in head voice. I could do it easily an octave down in chest, however.
Still probably not entirely clear.
