Changing the default stem direction of voices

You can change the default stem direction of voices after they have been input.

Note

This changes the implicit stem direction of the voice, but may not change the stem direction of all notes in single-voice contexts. Stem directions are automatically changed in Dorico when only one voice contains notes.

Procedure

  1. Select a note or chord in the voice whose stem direction you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. Change the default stem direction of the selected voice in one of the following ways:

    • Choose Edit > Voices > Default Stems Down.

    • Choose Edit > Voices > Default Stems Up.

    Tip

    You can also choose these options from the context menu.
