stem direction in connected notes
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 9:20 pm
I have a passage of a descending octave. It is in 4/4 time and the notes are eighth notes. The first note of the measure is an eighth rest. I want the first 4 notes to have stems up and the next four to have stems down. I cannot get the stem of the fifth note to turn down because it is connected by a beam to the fourth note. Help, please. In a harp passage, the direction of the stems can indicate to use two hands when playing the passage.
