Occasionally Lilypond decides to fit so many bars into a system that notes are squeezed so tightly together that, in a beamed group, a later note's downward stem can fall to the left of an earlier note's upward stem. The noteheads are in the correct left-to-right order but the stems are in the wrong order.
How can I stop Lilypond doing this? I can't predict which bars, if any, Lilypond will decide to squeeze so tightly.
%%begin example
\version "2.13.17"
lhMusic =
{
\clef bass
\time 12/4
\repeat unfold 12 { \stemUp e16 fis! \change Staff = "rh" \stemDown g' fis'! \change Staff = "lh" }
}
\score
{
\new PianoStaff
<<
\new Staff = "rh" << { s1 s s } >>
\new Staff = "lh" << \lhMusic >>
>>
\layout { }
}
%%end example
