I did some tests and I discovered something that's not clear.
Why in the following code the very last note `d4` stem is up?
%%%
\version "2.25.23"
\fixed c' \new Staff
{
%a1
<<
{\voiceTwo a,4 d g c' }
\new Voice {\voiceOne r1 }
>>
d4 % stem up
}
%%%
I didn't call \oneVoice so I was expecting 'd4' would continue the
\voiceTwo and then have its stem direction down.
Things work as expected if I uncomment the note a1 before the polyphony.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, g.
