Re: Change stem direction for voice?

[William Rehwinkel]

Dear Stefano,

See the attached example which may fix what you have in mind. In it the 
default lilypond procedure "make-voice-props-set" (which is called when 
you use << // >> as well as \voiceOne \voiceTwo etc.) is overwritten so 
that Stems are always up.

Thanks, let me know if this is what you were intending
