Hi all,

Can I ensure that the stems are always drawn behind the noteheads? Their
order along the imaginary z-axis may not matter if they're both black, but
if one uses colored noteheads, stems drawn above noteheads are ugly. The
default behavior seems pretty random with no discernible patterns: stems
are sometimes drawn behind and sometimes in front of noteheads. Minimal
example:

\relative c' {
  \override NoteHead.color = "red"
  c4 c c c d d d d e e e e f f f f g g g g a a a a b b b b c c c c
}

With version 2.24 on Linux the two middle E's and F's, the last two G's,
the last three A's and the first B have their stems in front of the
corresponding notehead, the rest are fine. I'd like to tell or trick
lilypond into always drawing noteheads after (i.e. above) stems. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jozsef
