Hello List-Serve,, Here I have 3 identical beats of music, yet the stems on beat 2 are rendered very differently than 1 and 3. Why is that? << \relative { e''4 e e \bar "|" e } \\ \relative { \stemDown e''8[ g,8] e'8[ g,8] e'8 g, \bar "|" e[ b] } \\ \relative {\stemDown d'4 4 4 \bar "|" 4 } >> -- ---------------- Kale Good Private Lessons · GoodMusicAcademy.com Music Faculty · Swarthmore College 4705 Baltimore Ave, Phila, PA 19143 phone: (215)260-5383
