MuseScore 2.0 r5632

Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a new score with drumset 5 lines
2. Press N and eight note tab bar button
3. Click on the hi hat for example in the drum toolset
4. Place the eight note in the first measure and the stem direction is correct
5. Place an eight note directly next to the first and the stem direction flips to the opposite direction.

Actual result: the stem is the wrong direction
Expected result: the stem should remain in the correct direction as determined by the drum set note setting

Operating System: tested under Ubuntu 12.04 and MacOS 10.7.4 with same behaviour

Note that another unwanted behaviour I noticed is that single notes from different voices that line up time wise (for example the first bass drum and hi hat eight notes in the first measure of the attached example), the stem direction of one of the notes is flipped in the wrong direction.

I think this is a common problem, not only for drumset.
Looks like musescore set beam notes stem to the default direction
open attach xml file in 1.2 and trunk, in 1.2 stem is up, but in current trunk(don't know how to check git version number), stem is down.

For developer:
Beam direction overwrites Stem direction, so if your notes are in Beam, need to create Beam manually, and set stem directio in Beam.
This works with git trunk.
