RE: Glyph "flags-stem" Missing

[Fairchild]

Mats -

You have added a new dimension to my LilyPond education.  Embedded
PostScript is a solution for several enhancements to sheets previously left
unenhanced.

A very useful PostScript guide:
http://www.cs.indiana.edu/docproject/programming/postscript/postscript.html.

Thanks for your help.

                                    - Bruce

I would actually recommend embedded postscript. Look at the example
embedded-postscript.ly 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/input/test/out-www/lily-1795817312.ly> in 
the Tips and Tricks document. You can also
find some examples in the mailing list archives.
