\stemUp/\stemDown is pretty much always a very bad idea to use in anything but the definitions of more complex voice-changing commands that also cater for notehead collision strategies and other stuff. It was probably a mistake to make those explicit commands rather than requiring them to be entered as overrides. -- David Kastrup
