I'll help you, but I need to understand better what you want.

1) Why do you want the quarter-note stem removed?
2) The quarter-note is already "flush" with (the right side of) the
   whole notes in the last example. Do you want it centered? Why?

The reason I'm asking these questions is because I need to make
sure you're not casually violating standard engraving without good
reason. I don't mean to be annoying! It may also help if you post
a full measure so I can see the musical context.

Thanks.
