stem direction [Was: Snippet: Tie does not appear]

[Ivan Kuznetsov]

Thanks to all for your quick help!

I adjusted the voices so that the E naturals I
intend to tie are in the same lilypond voice.  The tie
now renders and correct notation results _however_ the
problem I have now, is that direction of the stems that
lilypond has chosen for each voice is _not_ the direction
I wish.

How does one override lilypond's stem directions for a
particular note or voice.


Also, though tie renders in the attached image, but I prefer
the curve of the tie _below_ the E naturals, not _above_ as
in the attached image.  Is there a way to force in which direction
the "tie is written"?

Thanks again!
