Audit Note Stems

Tools/Audit Note Stems does not appear to work for 2 notes beamed across a rest, such as might be found in a French Horn part in 6/8 time.  Eighth note + eighth rest + eighth note beamed together retains the same stem direction, even when this is wrong (such as after transposing).  Three eighth notes beamed together works just fine.  Your help file on Stem Down Command excludes some situations involving chords, but my notes are just single notes, not chords.  I just checked v. 1.75b, and the behavior appears to be the same.  Maybe it's just the help file that needs a clarification for this behavior.

Can you provide an example? I started with:

Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|TimeSig|Signature:6/8
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-11|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First
|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-11|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Up
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:8|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
After Tools, Audit Note Stems, I got this:

Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Clef|Type:Treble
|TimeSig|Signature:6/8
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-11|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Up
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-11|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:8|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First
|Rest|Dur:8th|Opts:Stem=Down
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:8|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
