Re: Removing the stem engraver?

That's exactly how I work around it, but the results aren't exactly the
same---slurs are rendered as if the stems were there.  (This in turn can
be worked around with judicious use of \stemDown and \stemUp, but the
whole think is getting very crufty. ;)

Which reminds me, I also tried

  \override Stem #'print-function = ##f

which I thought was supposed to have approximately the same effect as
removing the engraver, but afaict it does nothing at all.
