Ah, bad answer from me; I missed the `Staff` in the `\override`.
Unfortunately, I can't use `Staff`since I probably have more voices at
the same musical moment.

This:
```
(let* ((stem-direction
(assoc-get 'direction (ly:context-grob-definition ctx 'Stem)))
(ctx-parent (ly:context-parent ctx)))
```
was the crucial information I couldn't find. Thanks a lot!

I will check it, thanks again for the nice example.
