Re: aligning an arrow

[Phil Holmes]

Your way of laying this out is rather unusual, and partly causes your 
problem.  Instead of all those hidden notes, I'd suggest using spacer rests 
(s4 for a crochet spacer).  Don't use stemUp or stemDown here - stick with 
voiceOne and voiceTwo.  If you use \omit \Stem rather than hide, the arrow 
won't have to avoid the hidden stem and will be placed as you wish.

I would also get rid of all those separate voices, and put all my voiceOne 
music in one variable and all my voiceTwo in another: much easier to read.
