Mr. Nalesnik: thank you for making public your scheme code

This code has been invaluable to me for writing examples for a music
theory course.
I have one small issue, and that
In a vocal part I am notating, while the singer mostly
sings notated pitches, there are a few parts
where the singer will speak text in notated
rhythm.
When this is done is scores that I have seen,
sometimes it is done with just stems, flags and
beams (but no note heads) such as in

Ok, if I remove the \stemUp commands the
lowest voice does line up vertically.
However, when I remove the \stemUp commands, I get the

Because of many clashing note columns ;)

You'll find the documentation for 2.15 to the right of the

Vertical spacing in 2.14 and 2.15 is completely different from
2.12. You'll need to read section 4.1.4 rather than 4.4.2 in
the Notation Reference.
I am interested in controlling the vertical spacing

Actually, can you identify the place in the reference manual that the above

Appended is a snippet of two measures, the first measure
