Re: [Finale] Stem direction

[David H. Bailey]

If you have one note stem-up and the next note stem-down (second space 
stem up to middle line stem down), the slur goes from the stem (almost 
at the top) to the note head.  So the slur has an overall down 
appearance, while the pitch is going up.  If you flip the slur, it goes 
from notehead to near the end of the stem, again with a downward slope 
while the pitch is rising.

That was his original complaint about the slurs and why he was asking 
about stems-up or stems-down on middle line -- the slope of the slur 
mimics the melodic line if both of the notes have same stem direction.

Which is why I said "or change the slur" -- you can drag the end that is 
attached to the stem and move it closer to the note head so it imitates 
the melodic motion.

Or not, if you're not concerned about that issue.

Why? You can set it up so that such slurs are just fine, and exactly as they
should be. With Engraver slurs there are no conflicts with other common
situations (before Engraver slurs a slur reaching over B-A-B in treble clef
would have been problematic with such settings).
