Gardner Read is unequivocal on stem length:
"For all note heads that lie higher than the second added space above the
staff, a downward stem touches the middle staff line".
Ditto the same rule for upward stems with note heads under the staff. So the
proposal is against his "rule".
Kurt Stone shows the same.
Ted Ross shows the same.
So - if we consider these to be the authorities, we should not change how stem
lengths are calculated for this situation.

Subject: shortened flags affair,part 5 - length of notes extending far from
staff
Hi,
next thing is to decide what the output of { c32 c[ c] c64 c[ c] } should be.
Currently the stems of unbeamed notes are lenghtened to middle line only
("current output.png").
In my opinion this looks weird, i'd suggest something like "suggested
output.png".
However, this is only my personal opinion.
What do engraving books say about it? Or maybe do you recall some examples?
(i suppose randomly searching score databases like imslp.org has a little
chance of success in reasonable time...)
cheers,
Janek
