Tablature stem direction
In books by Publisher (or software) 1, the tablature is downstem for single voice (see Electric Guitar 2).
If there's multi-voice, the Voice 1 notes are upstem and Voice 2 are downstem (see Electric Guitar 3).
Looking at Publisher 2 (probably using different software), the direction is either up or down.
I wonder if it was a conscious decision for Publisher 1 (or the software) to always place single voice in one stem direction for easier reading.
Thoughts?

See this: #19654: TAB: Stem direction bassline: downwards, treble: upwards
Hi,
in many guitar songbook, stems are not represented. I have met these notations in Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler songbooks. It's nice to see that in the latest nightly built, on the staff properties, you can choose wether to use the stems or not.

Yes, stems are seemingly hard to find.
Thankfully, in my small collection, I think they feature more than in the ones without :).
