I can't contradict this statement. But sometimes I don't find a way to 
place the notes without stemUp/Down like in this example:

\version "2.14.2"

\context PianoStaff <<
  \context Staff=right \relative c'' {
      \key g \major \time 3/4
      s2.
      \times 4/6 {r16 b cis d[ cis b]} \times 4/6 {r16 cis d e[ d cis]} 
d a fis d | % 40
  }
  \context Staff=left \relative c' {
    \clef bass \key g \major \time 3/4
    c4 d e |
    \change Staff=right g4 a \change Staff=left fis | % 40
  }
>>

The left hand plays the two quavers (g and a). The semiquaver rests 
belong to the right hand's voice. Therefore I want to quavers shown 
below the rests. But the notes in the sextuplet should keep the stems 
down to avoid a high skyline.

I played around with voiceOne/Two but found no solution. Probably you 
have a one?

Honestly, I used the 2.13 documentation. Now I downloaded the 2.14 
documentation. Searching for stemDown\Up\Neutral I didn't find any hint 
to favor voiceOne/Two/Three. But I did not read thorough 763 pages. 
Which section are you referring?
