1/4 & 1/2 note stem misalignment

Today is my first full day with LillyPond (2.7.36).
I've noticed two things:

1. Half-note heads are .105 longer than quater-note heads 
(visually necessary, probably), and

2. Simultaneous note heads align on the left side.

This cases a problem with simultaneous quarter- and half-notes when their
stems connect on the right (up) side---the stems are misaligned by about half a
stem-width.  It looks bad in print.

I don't know what the best solution is---maybe simultaneous noteheads
should align on the stem side?  I'm currently using this as a workaround:
\once \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'(0.895 . 0.0)
before any half-notes that have to appear in a stack with 
quarter notes with stems on the right.  This affects the bowl of the 
notehead on the stem side, but looks better.

Thanks for LillyPond---you've got me hooked!
