#### 6.3.2 Stems

Whenever a note is found, a Stem object is created automatically. For whole notes and rests, they are also created but made invisible.

##### Predefined commands

`\stemUp`, `\stemDown`, `\stemNeutral`.

##### Commonly tweaked properties

To change the direction of stems in the middle of the staff, use

>          a4 b c b
>          \override Stem #'neutral-direction = #up
>          a4 b c b
>          \override Stem #'neutral-direction = #down
>          a4 b c b
