How do I flip the stems?
When writing drum notes for a full drum kit I (most often) want to have the cymbals, hihat and occationally also snare hits , with the stem up and bass drum hi-hat pedal etc. with stem down. This provides a clean and readable layout. Now, when I try to put som stuff into the Notion for ipad app the default seems to be the other way around i.e. when I want the stems up they are down. How do I go about changing this (either by default or by editing after the note has been entered)?

Slipperman,
Enter up-stem and down-stem notes in separate layers.
The drum pad has red buttons for 4 different layers. Lower layer numbers turn into up-stem notation if a higher-number layer is entered in the same measure: Typically, you'll want to enter cymbals, hi-hat and snare in Layer 1 and use Layer 2 for kick and hi-hat foot pedal.
If there is no layer-2 instrument in a measure, enter a whole rest there so that the layer-1 notes will turn up-stem.
Best wishes,
Thorrild

That is what I did for this snare drum exercise. Let me know if you discover an easier way.
