Re: Can't get the voices right with \stemUp and \stemDown

If you want individual settings for the different voices,
simply use a separate Voice context for each of them.
I recommend to take a look at the template file satb.ly
(found at www.lilypond.org or in /usr/share/doc/lilypond/input/templates/
on your local installation).

Hello all, Trying to write a piece for 4 voices choir, I'm stuck with the problem that the stems won't stand in the right direction. Wherever I put those \stemUp en \stemDown commands, they just don't seem to have the desired effect. I want the sopranos and the tenors have their stem up, and the altos and basses stem down. Hoping that then the slurs will come out fine too (finally).
The music consists of 4 files:
main file,
header file,
melodies file,
texts file
as copy/pasted below.
Would somebody be able to give me the solution?
Thanks a lot.
