Yes. The stems are postioned using the Staff Attributes - Stems Settings....
box. The circles are articulations defined to be centered on the note. You
can apply to many notes at once in MassEdit.

Tab stems do not flip. I think they are by layers and up or down. You might
need to duplicate the articulation and change the placement settings to use
with down stems - I'm not sure.

Well, if you are doing this in the first place it is probably for beginners.
Not too many double digit frets needed. If there are, just copy the
articulation and make the circle bigger. Or make them all bigger to start.

No need for that. Eternal gratitude is sufficient. Glad to help. Let me know
if you have any questions. The stripped down file is zipped and posted for
