I'm trying to enter drum parts and all I'm getting is one voice. I need to enter at least 3. Snare, cymbals, bass drum. And how do I get the stems to go up for the snare and cymbals and down for the bass drum which I want on the bottom space?
I'm not concerned about playback just the printed parts and score.
I looked in reference and it shows what I want there but doesn't say how to do it....unless I missed it.

Thanks for the help.

Simple answer: use two voices. Input snare and cymbals in Voice 1 and Bass Drum in Voice 2. Section 2.3 of the Reference has all the details, should you need them.
