Hi Peter,

I would simply not add the stem directives unless and until you need them, 
i.e., just at the moment you build the score:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.24.3"

melody = {
  r4 g'4 a' b' c''
}

harmony = {
  r4 g' fis' f' e'1
}

\score {
  \new Staff << { \stemUp \melody } \\ { \stemDown \harmony } >>
}

\score {
  \new Staff \harmony
}
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
