Well, maybe.

This is not because of the \stem*, it's because lilypond creates two
voice contexts if there is no voice context and it's finding a parallell
composition.

Since the noteedit lilypond export creates a separate voice context for
each voice, this doesn't happen.

As I said, it's easy to remove. I prefer to keep \stem* directives
outside the voice, this makes combining parts much easier, if i want to
combine soprano and alto on one staff on the full score, and separate
them on my special choir score for instance.
