Well, setting stem directions can be usefull, why not document it?

After looking at property-init.ly I think it's a good idea. From a user
point of view it makes little difference if these properties are defined as
'macros' (if I may call them so) or are part of the lilypond syntax ( for
me, /stemUp, /break, /clef or /major are the same kind of beasts).

Well, how about the same hack I use when lilypond is spacing notes too
close: add /breaks
to force a more 'airy' appearance (you can do that with \override
Score.SpacingSpanner #'shortest-duration-space = #3.0 but the breaks give
more control, like the old-time engravers had :-)

No, not necessarily. What Mats writes makes sense:
One method is to increase the staff-padding property, which specifies
the minimum distance from the stave. This means that that the distance
to the closest note will only matter if you have a note far below
the stave. Try for example
\override DynamicLineSpanner #'staff-padding = 2
/Mats
If this could be added, the problem is solved as far as I'm concerned.

Well, I was hoping to learn that from the manual ;-)

Graham, could you post this to the list, it bounces me.
