Not that I know of.

Don't you want the stem of the quarter note? Why not typeset the last
chord using <<  d1 cis'1-\downbow \\ g,4  >> instead? This gives left
alignment and a quarter note that makes sence (i.e. it has a stem).
In your example, the the note heads were aligned to the right, as you
see if you don't make the stem transparent.

Please include complete examples if possible, I had to guess what your
macro \transparentStem did.
