With
\version "2.16.2"
\relative c'' {
b~ b8 a b4~ b8 c
a8 b~ b4 c8 b~ b4

the stems of every b goes downwards. I think it would be better if tied
notes had the same direction, to make it clearer visually that they
belong
together. Then two of these stems should go up instead.
David Kastrup replied:
Well, how would you typeset
\relative c'' {
e8[ c]~ c a~ a[ f]~ f e
}
with that rule?
With all stems up. That looks better to me at least.
Elaine Gould, in "Behind Bars" has many examples of where the stems of tied
notes do not have the same direction, so typographically we should accept
that it's not standard notation. As David said, if it bothers you \stemUp
is a trivial command.
