Ok, this enabled me to fix my problem, thanks Han-wen. Is there a way
to define defaults for various instances of a voice? For example, if I
wanted all instances of Voice VA to have stems up, and all instances
of a Voice VB to have stems down, is there a way to arrange for this
to be automatically inherited by the appropriate instance of each
voice?

Thanks,
