How do I remove noteheads from individual stems?

 

How can I get stems to extend to note heads: [...]

To hide a notehead, you can make it transparent:

\override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t

The other half of the problem, however, is quite difficult. I was able to move the beam above the hanging note, but I couldn't find any way of manually adjusting a beamed stem. Here is my partial solution:

transHeads = \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t

untransHeads = \revert NoteHead #'transparent

\new Staff {

  \stemDown

  \override Beam #'positions = #'(-0.5 . -0.5)

  <f'' d'>16

  \transHeads f''16 f''16

  \untransHeads f''16

}
