Hi Jay, Looks like you got very close! And you are right about the problem:
Jay Vara wrote > Perhaps we are catching the stem after it has already been "printed"? To fix this, we can use \override NoteHead.before-line-breaking, which lets us set the grob properties sooner. The following uses this approach and seems to work like you want.
