Basil, Not really. If a stem can be tweaked up or down maually, I would consider this to be a fact. But ther is also another thing, and I do not know if this is taken into account, middle-line stem follows principle line of direction. Upward: stem up, downward, stem down. Middle-line note is topnote: stem down, eg bottom note, stem up.
