One note with two stems (up and down) - how?
Hello all,
how do I get a note head with two stems, one up and one down? Please view the attached example with a half note in the bass being shard as the first of six eights in the melody line.

See: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices
ie: eighth notes (stems up) in Voice1
And the dotted half note (tied with a quarter note) in Voice 2
EDIT: By steps in a sample file: steps1.mscz
For the E shared notehead (step #3), select the shortest E (eighth note) and press"V", or better, change the notehead type in Inspector (so, for half note)
Probably I was unclear: I don't want to detach the dotted half note visible in the screen shot into a separate (second) voice. Instead I have two separate voices and want to merge the dotted half note head with the first eights note head, yielding two stems (up and down) like in the attached example.
I found the following suggestion meanwhile:

Searching the forum a lot before, I could not find this helpful suggestion because I had no idea having to search vor "notehead sharing".
Thanks anyway!

My 2nd message end your "edit" overlapped. The suggestion in your "edit" is very convenient and fast - much appreciated!
Edit: I stay with the very fast "v" method for now.

Nice - same content but differently labeled / tagged to what I found further up this thread. Answers to common questions are almost always there. The art is to discover which key words bring them up front.
