Stem direction (S)

The "S" key changes the default note stem direction. When inserting a note, toggling

the "S" key reverses the stem direction of an inserted note.

Default stem direction of an inserted note is determined by its vertical position on the

staff. Stem direction of inserted notes automatically changes when the cursor crosses

the middle line of any staff.

· Hit the "S" key to flip the stem on the cursor. Or right-click while inserting a note

(option + click for Mac).

To change the stem direction of an existing note,

· In Insert mode, right-click on any given notehead (option + click for Mac). The

stem direction of the note will become flipped.

NOTE: In general, Voice #1 should have stems up and Voice #2 should have stems

down.

To change the stem direction of several notes at once,

a.  Hit the "O" key to activate the Select tool.

b.  Click and drag a box around any series of notes.

c.  Press the "S" key to reverse the stem direction of the highlighted notes.
