two tails or one
Look at bar 9 of After the Goldrush where tenor and bass both sing ABAB. In the score I worked from these were shown with two tails, one up, one down. I guess this is really quite important. In closed score how do you know as a tenor when you should be singing? Presumably use the convention that tenors are tails up and basses are tails down. This means that if I want tenors and basses to sing the same note I MUST have two tails.
So ... my question. How can I tell Muse score that
1 I want a tail up
2 I want a tail down
3 I want two tails
I know that Muse Score gives me one style and that I can flip from up to down. But how do I get both at once?

Put all tenor notes in voice 1 and all bass notes in voice 2. All tenor note stems will point up as you enter voice 2 bass notes and all bass notes will be stem down. When the two voices have the same note, they will share a note head if it makes sense (the notes heads are the same) or offset them if this clarifies who sings which duration.
