If a note appears on the third line of a staff, its stem extends downward if the note is in the upper half of the staff (above the third line) and upward if the note is in the lower half of the staff (below the third line). This convention helps maintain clarity in reading music. The direction of the stem also follows generally accepted notation rules to ensure consistency across musical scores.

How do you read outer ledger lines piano?

The ledger lines are an extension of the staff. On the Treble Cleff, the highest line is the note "F". The space at the top of the Treble Cleff going up is the note "G". The next note up requires a ledger line, and is the note "A" Going up again brings us to the space above the first ledger line which is "B". In the Bass Cleff, you go down the scale starting a G as the lowest line on the Staff. Then "F" in the space below, and the "E" note gets the first ledger line below the Bass staff. The second ledger line below is the note "C" An easy way to remember it is the ledger line between both staffs is middle C. Middle C only has one ledger line. Above and below the staff, the C notes have 2 ledger lines.
