Hello,

I have formatted Silent Night ... a very simple version of it. I have in it the melody, lyrics and chord's above the staff.

The problem is that all my notes stems are going up, no matter the note pitch. For instance, the high note in Silent Night (key of C) is f''4. ... that stem is even going up not down like it should.

I copied some simple templates from the lilypond website and they work just fine (mixed stems).

I have included my .ly file in this email and am hoping that someone could help me out with this simple problem.

Oh, another (might be related) is that all slurs and ties are curves up as well. None are curved down which is where I think the last one should be.

Thanks,

Jeremy
