When a notehead is mirrored, i.e. facing west when normally facing east or vice- versa (the user applied a shift+x), the accompanying stem seems to be slightly detached from the head as opposed to the normal direction (east or west depending on stem direction). It's barely noticeable and probably requires a zooming in to see it. It seems the easiest fix would be to have some sort of auto re-alignment of the vertical positioning as well as a stem-length adjustment to accommodate this slight vertical positioning when a notehead is mirrored. A couple screen captures can be seen here in the reply to Marc's first post. The idea at first was to truly mirror the a notehead, but it seems stem adjustment is the way to go. Not too big of an issue, but it should be dealt with unless this is considered standard form. C'ya.

I just observed this too, and worse when you re-mirror to flip it back again the stem length is still wrong. Seems ok for beamed notes.
But if you change the note duration after mirroring and back again it does fix itself, so it should be an easy one to fix.
Will likely still be true in v4 initial release at anyway. Have downgraded from "blocker" though as there are workarounds and mirrored note heads aren't exactly a core feature.
