B note confusion

I've been clicking along on my own up until tonight. I started on the eighths lessons. While transcribing the next song (I write the note/string number accordingly) I noticed the B note is pointed up now. Up until now it has always pointed down indicating 2nd string B . I haven't learned any other B yet. Does this up/down note mean anything? It's the final note in a 4 note beam if that means anything. A3, G3, A3, B?. Is it still the 2nd string B? Thanks for any help. I suspect most of my questions will revolve around notation.

hey
if I followed this correctly, the stem on the B note (middle of the stave) may point up or down, depending on the layout of the score. Notes lower than that will have the stem pointing up, and notes higher than that will have the stem pointing down.
If writing music for two voices, ie bassline and melody, different rules apply to help distinguish the parts.

The GfB&B Guitar Slide Rule

Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
