The way the implementation works now, there are strictly speaking no
"stems" in Kievan notation. The stem is just part of the notehead
glyph. The check against Kievan in is_normal_stem suppresses the
output of default stems. Thus, my proposed hack looks to compute the
position of the beam based on the height of the notehead glyph.
