Maybe you want:
\score{
\notes\relative c{
%hmm, this doesn't work, but we now have pushproperty!
%\property Voice."default-neutral-direction" = #-1
\pushproperty #'(basicStemProperties)
#'default-neutral-direction #-1
\clef bass; d4.( e8 fis4 )d
}
}
Lily has no way to make smart decisions for stem directions based
on context (yet).
