Subject: Re: Head of merged half note getting filled

I've got a score where the heads of half and dotted half notes that are
merged with eighth notes are being incorrectly filled in. I've minimised

voices. If I remove the treble voice from my example, then the merged
note
in the middle and bass voices outputs correctly with an unfilled
notehead.
I'm not sure why it doesn't behave like you want, but you can force it
to do so with this code before the offending note in the middle voice:
\once \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
Yes - I was just illustrating what seems to be to be a bug.
Gotcha. It looks like a bug to me too, but even after using LP for 18
months I still don't feel qualified to label things as bugs.
You can also use much simpler \stemUp, \stemDown, and \stemNeutral
commands to control direction of stems.
If I have one note each bar that requires a direction change, then it's
actually simpler to use the \once command, as \stemUp requires the
corresponding \stemDown or \stemNeutral after the note. I have a standard
file of shortcuts I include in every score that contains, inter alia:
onceSlurDown = \once \override Slur #'direction = #DOWN
onceSlurUp = \once \override Slur #'direction = #UP
onceTieDown = \once \override Tie #'direction = #DOWN
onceTieUp = \once \override Tie #'direction = #UP
onceStemDown = \once \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN
onceStemUp = \once \override Stem #'direction = #UP
and I use these shortcuts quite a lot.
Those look handy, for sure. :)
I agree with Robin that it would be cool to be able to combine the
\stemUp and other such commands with a \once, without having to make all
specific new definitions like this. I fear it's beyond my capabilities
to make it work...
