Don't you want the stem of the quarter note?
No, it's a triple-stop (violin) in which the lowest note is released early -- not strictly a grace note, but not notated at full value either. This is the notation recommended by the violinist who commissioned the piece.
Please include complete examples if possible, I had to guess what your macro \transparentStem did.
Sorry! Was trying to save space on the mailing list, but should have included at least the macro definition(s)... =\
Thanks, Kieren.
