Changing the stem direction of cues

You can override the default stem directions of individual single-voice cues. For example, if you want some cues that by default had down stems to appear with up stems and bar rests below cue notes instead.

Note

These steps only apply to cues that have bar rests shown alongside them.

Prerequisite

• The lower zone is shown.

• Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

• If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

1. Select the labels or signposts of the cues whose stem direction you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Voice direction in the Cues group.
3. Choose one of the following options:

   • Force stems up

   • Force stems down

Result

The stem direction of all notes in the selected cues is changed.

Deactivating Voice direction returns the selected cues back to their default stem direction.
