Left Hand/Right Hand Separation in Music Notation

I'm new to GarageBand and am wondering if there is anyway to separate the right hand from the left hand part in music notation. I recorded some piano music into GarageBand using a midi keyboard but the right and left hand parts are sometimes combined. Is there any way to change the direction of the stems for individual notes to separate the right and left hand parts? Thanks!!

I too am new to GB and am somewhat disappointed with the Notation programme. Is there no way that, for instance, notes below middle C can be shown in the treble clef? If not, GB's Music Notation format is of no use to keyboard players as it will show chords - particularly in the left hand - that are physically impossible to play! Is there no way of moving notes between clefs?

GB separates the staffs at the middle C, and there's nothing you can do about it. Same with all other aspects of the layout.

No. If you want serious notation features, GB isn't the software of choice.
