Not really, since the code below also has a \stemDown at
the same musical moment in the same Voice.  Only one of 
these can be effective.  Which of them takes precedence 
is not clearly defined, although usually it is the last
one encountered.  Here \stemDown wins.

Introducing a second voice allows both \stemUp and \stemDown
to work separately on the notes assigned to the two 
respective Voices.
