I use probably voicees more than layers. They're great for partial
measures. I always put the larger note value in voice one and the smaller
values in voice two, so it's easy to come back and figure out which is
which. The stem direction is very predictable: put the cursor below the
note and the stem goes down, above the note and it goes up.  Editing can be
tricky at times; I guess I've gotten used to it though.

Away from my office and replying on my phone now. Let me know if you have
any other questions I'll be glad to help.
