Eighth note stems
Hi everyone,
In the attached photo, I want to get rid of the curly part of the eighth note stems. How do I do this?
I find doing measures like these VERY convoluted and difficult--seems you need to do a lot of fiddling with beams and other things after the fact. It took me a long time to do four measures, even after entering the notes as per the instructions :(
Hint: After adding rehearsal marks, I get one rehearsal mark over each beat of the bar???? For example, I want G, but I get G, H, I, J, K, L !!!! Is it because I select the whole bar? I thought that's what you were supposed to do, and then double click the Rehearsal Mark icon.
Thanks
- Lee

I guess you're having those 8th notes in different voices (but to be sure we'd Need to see the score, not a picture of it), so some are beamed, others not, but stemms in the same direction.
either put them into the same voice or select the flags and hit v to make them invisible or select the notes and hit x to turn the stems to the other side

Thanks Jo-jo. I can post the score, but if I want the first beat (for example) to play the three notes: D, E, G - don't they have to be in three voices? I see no other way to do it.

4, D, Shift E, Shift G, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/note-input and read it all

To be clear: voices are normally used needed only if you want the notes *not* to be combined onto one stem - to show separate stems. Most often, that would be because there are independent rhythmic figures happening. but just to show multiple notes happening at once does not need voices - just chords.

I surmised that from the readings but thanks for clearing that up, Marc.
It's still a "life-saving" program. I love it!!!!!!

Select a note in the bar, not the whole bar for rehearsal letters.
The flag on the stem shows you have 2 voices on that note. Either right click on the flag and set invisible or change to one voice and add the notes to one chord.

Lee, the simplest way to make a chord is to use the GUI. After you've clicked with the mouse to make the first note, simply click vertically above or below, to add another note onto the same stem.

I've noticed that, Mike. Thanks for the handy tip :)!
You folks are the best....
