To
flip a stem
Click the Speedy Entry tool , and click the measure
in question. The editing frame appears.
Click the note whose stem you want to flip.
(Or use the arrow keys to position the insertion bar.) Make certain you’re
in the correct layer (if you’ve entered music in Layers) and the correct
voice (if you’re using the Voice 1/Voice 2 feature). Press SHIFT+’
(apostrophe) to change layers; press the apostrophe key to change voices.
Press the L key to freeze the stem in the opposite
direction. When a stem is “frozen” up or down, it’s no longer free
to change directions if it gets transposed. To restore a stem to its “floating”
status, position the insertion bar on the note and press CTRL+L.
