COPY and PASTE into same measure
I'm having an issue with copy and pasting voices. What I'm trying to do is this:
-COPY and paste ONE MEASURE of a single-line snare drum rhythm (voice 1)
-PASTE that same rhythm into the same measure and FLIP STEMS so that same rhythm is shown with stems down and stems up
When I copy the measure (voice 1) and go to paste the same notes in voice 2, voice 1 changes automatically and adds rest values and for some reason I'm having trouble pasting.
My measure, for example, is in 4/4 and is four groups of sixteenth notes.
The reason I want to do this is so I don't have to click note by note the same rhythm of the measure. For some reason, I had no trouble doing this recently. I was copy and pasting full measures and flipping the stems to have a mirror-like image of the measure.
Please....can anyone help!
Thank you

Sorry for asking...
Can you please spell out the easiest way to copy + paste the measure, in order to flip the stems? I've been trying, but still not clear on how to do this.

Also, it possible to do this WITHOUT needing voice 2? To copy paste and flip stems just in voice 1?

Yes! Thank you so much!
This is what worked for me with your directions:
Notes Voice 1 > Select the measure and Ctrl + C to copy > Exchange Voice 1-2 > Flip Stems (x) > Select the measure and Ctrl + V to paste
Thank you again!

You're welcome.
You will discover for yourself that, by entering the notes of the Voice 2, the stems will flip automatically

Definitely don't flip stems manually - that will mess things up later. Leave stems in their default state if you want things to work correctly. As observed, they will automatically go up & down as appropriate when you use multiple voices. Flipping them manually interferes with this.

Better than speaking the language. That was exactly what I needed.

Only 1 chord, and thus 1 stem per voice exists; so no, you will need 2 voices to achieve this
One more thing!
Is this possible to do with tuplets?

Repeat steps;
