The voicing is now correct, as you can tell from the stem
directions. However, there's still some work to do on the
notes graphical positions (see “Graphic moving of notes”
on page 552) and the display of stems and beams for
some of the notes (see “Manual adjustment of beams” on
page 550). When you have made those adjustments, the
score may look like this:

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. Pull down 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 will have
polyphonic voices activated, and the four original tracks will be assigned
to one voice each (voices 1, 2, 5 and 6 will be used).
Furthermore, all non-linked symbols that belong to the staff that will be-
come the first polyphonic voice in the merged staff will be copied. They
will 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 will get double notes.
