the second illustration shows notes with stems, which I'm 99% certain
is wrong. It's been like this since 2.12, at the very least. Can
anyone suggest why the stems are so deliberately there?
Why not read the actual explanation?
However, in some transcription styles, stems are used occasionally,
for example to indicate the transition from a single-tone recitative
to a fixed melodic gesture. In these cases, one can use either \hide
Stem or \override Stem.length = #0 instead, and restore the stem
when needed with the corresponding \once \override Stem.transparent
= ##f (see example below).
I see that now. I actually think this is too remote from the example
showing it, so I'll put up a patch later to shift it further down.
And later
This works fine, as long as the text doesn’t span a line break. If
that is the case, an alternative is to add hidden notes to the
score, here in combination with changing stem visibility:
So it is abundantly clear that the stems are intentional. The notation
quite clearly is _not_ Gregorian chant (which has four staff lines, no
fixed durations and much more complex noteheads) but rather the kind of
chant approximation used in some hymnals.
