Some other people have told me that before but it doesn't work for stacking a chord where 1 note is a different time value than the others. Ex. C+ chord where the 1st 2 notes are half notes but the dominant is a quarter note. (as in a chord and not 2 voices)
How is that not two voices? One voice has a half note, the other voice has a quarter note (and presumably does something else, like rest, on the other beat). By default, two different voics would be shown with opposing stems, but if you have some special unusual reason to need to break with standard notation convention and make the stems go in the same direction, you can simply flip the stem(s) of one voice by pressing "X".
Posting an example - perhaps a scan of a handwritten version, or a printed score you are trying to copy - would help if you'd like more specific guidance.

Voices maybe what you're looking for?
