hi don, makes sense i suppose mainly for smaller fragments.  the 
score i am curently working on has 2 layters/voices both full 
measure, maybe this is part of the reason i find it frustrating.  in 
a few instances with just a beat or something split in voices i found 
it easier to manage.

i don't see the behaviour you mention for stem up/down.

the behaviour seems to be that voice 2 has to be the higher one:
- v2, when entered higher than v1, will have all stems up for the 
entire v2 passage
- v2, when entered lower than v1, will have stems up only for the 
first beat of v1

e.g. enter:
1) v1 E5 for 4 quarters (stems are down by default)
2) v2 B5 for 4 quarters
= 4 B's 4 stems up; 4 E's stems down

but enter:
1) v1 B5 for 4 quarters (stems are down by default)
2) v2 E5 for 4 quarters
= B on 1st beat stem up, 3 other B's stems down; 4 E's stems down

weird. no?

cheers,
jef
