Default Re: stem direction single voice

Howdy,

To enter a double-stemmed note in Composer, you'll actually need to enter the note first as the upper (or lower) voice note, and then enter the note again as it's lower (or upper) voice counterpart. After adding the second note, the double-stem will show up.

So, to add a double-stem middle C, for example.
1. In Add mode, click the note duration you want, and the Upper Voice button.
2. Click on the middle C to add the upper voice middle C.
3. Now click on the Lower Voice button.
4. Click on the middle C again to add the lower voice middle C.
After step 4, the notehead will now have the two stems showing it is a middle C that is shared by both the upper and lower voice.

ttfn,
Sherry
