Hello:
Thank you to Stanton Sanderson, David Kastrup, and Andrew Bernard for offering solutions. I never did figure out the solution to the original issue of the stem not appearing, but I have some solutions. If someone wants to get experience with using voices, shifting, and aligning them, engraving one of Mendelssohn’s organ sonatas in a great teaching exercise. I have encountered and learned to resolve so many issues.

Usually my coding barely scratches the surface of Lilypond’s capabilities, so the fact that the result appeared correct was my motivation for submitting the “solution.” I realize that unorthodox coding could produce unexpected results with future versions of Lilypond. Again, thank you for your comments. There is much to learn! Stan
