Best Answer

Stems are the lines which extend from the notehead. Stems may point up or down. The length of a stem is usually that of an octave on the staff, going to either an octave higher or lower than the notehead, depending on which way the stem is pointing. Sometimes stems are the individual components of a mix separately saved (usually to disc) for the purposes of use in a remix.

Why are quavers in music sometimes upside down?

It is just about the presentation of the music (how it looks). If the stem of every note on the stave was the same, the stems would go too far up and if there's a stave above that one,stems would encroach on where extra 'leger lines' would be drawn and the music would look messy. By turning the stem 'upside-down', the stem drops down the stave instead, making the music look neater.It DOES NOT change the timing or pitch of any note.
