What are Upside Down Notes Called?

Featured Replies

Hi, musical dumbass here.

What do you call it when you turn the stem of a note upside down? (like when you're writing a bass part)

And more importantly how do I do it on Sibelius 3? (I could probably figure how to do it if I only knew what they were loving called! :D)

I have like a bass clef part, 3/4 time, and I want the first note to last the duration of the bar, and then the other two to just be crotchets. So I need to flip the longer note.

But what is it called when you flip a note?

Thanks.

:)

I think I understand what you're talking about. You want multiple voices in a stave. Searching the docs for "voices" should give you the info you want.

Thanks man, I actually already knew of this, but I was hoping there was another way besides using this dumb colour-code stuff! :dry:

Oh well...

Thanks again mate ;)

Unfortunately, not everybody is so proficient at just that, it's the 'trying' part that gets to most of us... :D

We also try to use proper English grammar and spelling. It's not so much that we're afraid, as it is that we're trying to keep the forums with a certain tone about them.

I happening to be receiving a mental Eb3 from the forums at the moment, is that what you're talking about? :huh:

It's just.... emanating... everywhere, I can't even begin to elude it....

:happy:

Are sure it's not a D#? :P

No, my mind tells me Eb3. Besides, the forums here seem enharmonically challenged at times. :happy:
