only the mensural

Note that the innermost flare of each mensural flag always is vertically aligned with a staff line.
There is no particular flag style for neo-mensural or Petrucci notation. There are no flags in Gregorian chant notation.
TODO: nothing here yet ...
The attachment of ancient flags to stems is slightly off.
Vertically aligning each flag with a staff line assumes that stems always end either exactly on or exactly in the middle between two staff lines. This may not always be true when using advanced layout features of classical notation (which however are typically out of scope for mensural notation).
