!Sibelius7/!Help/Stems

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

See manual for: Sung middle-line stems up; Stems
 up on 1-line staves; stem transfers


CHANGING STEM DIRECTIONS

 Select a note or chord and press Ctrl-F10.

 To change the direction of all stems along
 a beam, do Ctrl-F10 to the first note only.


ADJUSTING STEM-LENGTHS

 Select a note or chord, and press:

 � Ctrl-Shift-F2 to make the stem longer,
 � Ctrl-Shift-F3 to make it shorter,
 � Ctrl-Shift-F4 to return the stem to its
   default length.

 The stem can be made any length by pressing
 Ctrl-Shift-F2/F3 repeatedly. You can even
 make a stemless note this way. For beamed
 notes, you may have to press the keys repeated-
 ly before a visible effect is produced.
