For the stem-direction problem, you'll want to learn about setting Layer options, which is the first thing I'd suspect if I grasp your problem correctly. It seems that the imported file formed two layers. Options > Document > Layer Options is where you go. You can click on the question mark for quick help or check the documentation. Briefly, set Layer One to be stems up when other layers are present, Layer Two to be stems down. Usually that's all the layers you'll need. I have Layer Three and Four set up the same as Layer One and Two.
For showing examples to the list, a preferred way to do it is to set up a personal web page (for example, Yahoo/Geocities is free), then do a screen (or partial-screen, more usually) shot of what it is you're asking about and upload it to web page, then give the link in a message to the list. This makes it easy for people to take a look without anything being attached to the e-mail. --Richard > From: "Bill Wadlinger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >... > Here is my dilemma--one of many: I imported a tune from a Rhapsody file.
