note stems

Perhaps this subject has already been discussed. I am unable to figure out how to move note stems horizontally, as in the screen shot below. Can someone give me a clue?

Normally you can change the stem direction to up or down (or automatically).
You also can set a x-offset to a stem. Select it an have a look in the inspector.

[checked with 3.6.2]

I am using MuseScore4 which has no inspector. I want to move the stem horizontally. I had no problem with this in MuseScore3. I can't open my music started in MuseScore4 in MuseScore3. The operation should be possible in the new version, but I can't find it.

" I am unable to figure out how to move note stems horizontally"

This reply assumes MuseScore 3 (haven't checked MS 4).

I don't think that you should be moving stems on their own. Instead you can use one of the methods below, by selecting the notehead (not the stem).

In the Inspector:
To flip the notehead left or right: Note > Mirror head > Left / Right / Auto
To move an entire chord (notehead and stem): Chord > X Offset
