So I was wondering if you could subsitute cream of tarter for baking powder could it go the other way around??

Well, I've heard of this substitution but personally I don't think it's the best idea. If there's no cream of tartar in hand, just add a few drops of lemon juice in the egg whites while the mixer is running. That could help them get stiff indeed.

Baking powder substitute
For each 1 teaspoon baking powder called for in a recipe, use:
1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar;

NO!!!!
Baking Powder is NOT a sub for Cream of Tarter.
To make your meringues work, you need the cream of tarter......

You would also need to add baking soda, equal parts.

No. That's two totally different things.
