Stems in Drum Part
When writing a drum part I use voice 1 for my snare and voice 2 for my bass drum. When I enter the snare notes first the stems are pointed up which is where they should be. Now, when I start to enter the bass notes the snare stems turn facing down. If I enter the bass drum first the stems will face down, but as soon as I enter the snare the stems on the bass drum turn and start to face up. This is a very frustrating and time consuming problem. So, is there a fix for this? When I enter either snare or bass notes they should stay in their correct position, snare stems up, bass drum, stems facing down. Thanks.
Are you using x to change the direction of the stems as you input the part? Don't. Voice 1 stems will normally point down when you enter the snare notes (it's on C 3rd space). Just ignore this until you turn to the bass drum parts. As soon as you enter the f (1st space) the stems should automatically go the right way. you should never need to constantly juggle them as you describe.

You don't have to enter all the snares and then all the bass drum, you can swap between voices mid thrutch, as it were, just by using [alt]1 and [alt]2 for voices 1 and 2.
