Stems
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. Make certain you’re in the
correct layer if you’ve entered music in layers. Press shift-’
(apostrophe) to change layers.
- 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 option-L.
