Re: stemNeutral problem

[Federico Bruni]

You are right, it seems weird.
If you check your property-init.ly file you'll find these definitions:

stemUp = \override Stem.direction = #UP
stemDown = \override Stem.direction = #DOWN
stemNeutral = \revert Stem.direction

But I don't know what's happening here.
