Thank you very much Fred28,
I was able to have the stems point in opposite directions automatically (or by default) using Voices. I am only interested in choral music. So I had V1 for Soprano, V2 for Alto and so forth. All was great till I got to where the different Voices progresses at different intervals. This throws the measures alignment to go into disarray.
I dont know whether this problem (non-alignment of notes) was caused when I try to insert the rests. So my question re the rests, when do you insert them, after the notes by measure, or at the end of each Voice etc?
Another question, can you detach the barlines from each stave? Also, do the double barlines affects note alignment?
I want to upload the piece I am working on so you can see exactly what I am doing wrong but cant see such an option.
Rgds, M
