engraving question - changing stem direction to avoid levitating slur

2011-02-14 Thread Janek Warchoł
Hi, i have a levitating slur like in the attachment. Fixing slur is easy - just change the direction of stems of bflat notes under it. But the question is, should the direction of bflat notes outside the slur be changed as well (i.e. the ones over terrae)? What's the common engraving practice?
