The voicing is now correct, as you can tell from the stem directions. However, there is
still some work to do on the notes graphical positions (see
“Graphic moving of notes”
on page 805) and the display of stems and beams for some of the notes (see “Manual

Automatic polyphonic voicing – Merge All Staves
If you have already created some tracks which look and play back as they should, and
you want to combine these into one track with polyphonic voices, there is a special
function on the Scores menu for this:
1. Open the tracks (up to four) in the Score Editor.
2. Open the Scores menu and select “Merge All Staves” from the Functions
submenu.
Now a new track is created and shown in the score. The track has polyphonic
voices activated, and the four original tracks are assigned to one voice each
(voices 1, 2, 5 and 6 are used).

Furthermore, all non-linked symbols that belong to the staff that become the first
polyphonic voice in the merged staff are copied. They have the same positions as the
original symbols.

When you later play back the music, you need to mute the four original tracks, or you
get double notes.
