You are here: How do I... > R > Reverse stems > Temporarily displaying reverse-stemmed notes with normal stems

Once you’ve created reverse stemming, you may find your score easier to edit if stems are drawn on the correct sides of their noteheads; if so, follow the procedure below.

To temporarily display reverse-stemmed notes with normal stems

  1. Choose Document > Document Options > Stems. The Stem options appear.
  2. Click Display Reverse Stemming to deselect it. When this option is off, Finale draws every stem on the original side of its notehead.
  3. Click OK (or press ENTER). At any time, you can restore all affected stems to reverse-stem status by turning Display Reverse Stemming on again. (You might want to turn off Display Cross-staff Notes in Original Staff at the same time you deselect Display Reverse Stemming, so that all notes are temporarily drawn without their unusual beaming configurations.)
