Changing notehead and stem offsets
Hello,
Is there a better/easier way to change notehead and stem offsets?
This is for R/L sticking notation for marching snare pieces.
I've attached a pic of the result I am getting by changing the offsets in Properties. This leaves the beam unattached from the stems and looks messy.
Cheers

The notes are already flipped the correct way. It's the notehead and stem offset from the main staff line I'm having issues with.

I think he's entering notes on the line and using offset to move the notes above and below the line to indicate right and left hand sticking (???)
If so, using offset is definitely not the right way to do this, but I don't know what the right way would be.

I think you are right. I missed that. But offset can be used. Noteheads, stems, and beams should be moved separately, In the OP image, stems can be made longer or shorter. You have to select "show more" at the bottom of the Properties window. I think for the first stem, you should be able to select it and drag the selection box down.

I think I've figured it out. I've edited the drumset and added another snare. In the properties here it lets me change the default Stave line offset.
Thanks guys
So like in this example. The noteheads are above and below the staff line.

You may need to select "appearance" twice to see the "show more" option. Adjust the heads first then each stem (offset and/or length.
If by chance all you care about is the notation and sound (and not the labels), you could set up a bongo part and change the sound to snare.
Right clicking the note, selecting 'edit element' and pressing up or down arrows was the final solution...
Can also press alt+shift+e.
