In tab, lilypond draws a double stem for half notes. This is done intentionally to distinguish half notes from quarter notes. 

I’m curious about these double stems.  Does anyone know if they are a common/standard way to indicate half notes in tab?  I searched the web but didn’t turn up any documentation on this.  

Is there a way to turn this feature off so half note stems are drawn with a single line like quarter notes?

I was looking into the source code and it seems that for completeness one should also revert the Stem.X-extent:

\version “2.19.35”

\new TabStaff \with { 

  \tabFullNotation

  \revert Stem.stencil

  \revert Stem.X-extent

}
 { c''2 4 4 }
