mario17 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi, Is it possible to manually change stem up/down orientation ? I just tried and with simple G-B-D chord on treble cleff it made it down and my composer wanted it up, I also print it out and see pretty big margins on left/right, can I change them ?? Thanks All Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchBen Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hi mario17 Yes you can change stem direction. Select the notes or chords that you want to change (you can select multiple notes at once by using the control key and clicking each note, or select a range of notes by holding down the shift key and clicking the first and last notes of the range). Then right click on the note and from the pop-up menu select "Stem->Down". As for changing margin widths, it is on our list of todo items, but it is not currently implemented. There is a workaround which will allow you to change one line at a time by selecting a bar and then right clicking and then clicking the "Spacing..." menu item. However, this is a bit time consuming. As I said, support for this will be added properly soon. Regards, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMEG.2008 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I will appreciate any help to guide me, to write 1 note, for 2 voices, with 1 stem up and 1 stem down. I went through all the settings, i can move stems up or down but i can not retain 2 of them, on the same note. I tried to type to notes for soprano than for alto, does not work. Somehow, by chance, i manged to write only 1 note with 2 stems, 1 up, 1 down on the same note, but i can not find the right steps again. If someone can help me, i would be very gratefully!

mainer104 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks Ben, I followed your directions, but it only allows me to change one note. I saved the page and tried again, I even closed the program and opened it again, but I still can't change another stem. Please help! Thanks.

nchBen Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi mainer104, I'm not sure what the problem could be - it is working for me here. Are you making sure the notes are selected? They should be high-lighted blue when selected. From there you should be able to just right click and change the direction as described above.

Grace Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm also can't change the direction of the note stems - one at the time or by highlighting several at a time. When I click on a singe note and right click, I see the option of Stem. but the down and up options are greyed out. When I highlight several at a time and right click, the Stem option is not there. How can I get this to work? Grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonicsweaters Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Control click and shift click do not work for me. I can only select one note at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew81 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) What Ben meant when he says: you can select a range of notes and changes the stem at once; he really mean a range is a series of quater notes or a series of quavers or a series of half notes within a single bar.

malmac Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 For TB view.... why cant we just select, Voice 1 all stems up as default or if you want it auto leave it auto. All very well doing it bar by bar but rather tedious. Also I find they wont go up until you put in a voice 2 and select stems down, then you can have voice 1 with stems up.
