 Flat flags on lone notes and beam nibs at the ends of beamed figures
are both possible with a combination of @code{stemLeftBeamCount},
@code{stemRightBeamCount} and paired @code{[]} beam indicators.




For right-pointing flat flags on lone notes, use paired @code{[]} beam
indicators and set @code{stemLeftBeamCount} to zero (see Example 1).




For left-pointing flat flags, set @code{stemRightBeamCount} instead
(Example 2).




For right-pointing nibs at the end of a run of beamed notes, set
@code{stemRightBeamCount} to a positive value. And for left-pointing
nibs at the start of a run of beamed notes, set
@code{stemLeftBeamCount} instead (Example 3).




Sometimes it may make sense for a lone note surrounded by rests to
carry both a left- and right-pointing flat flag. Do this with paired
@code{[]} beam indicators alone (Example 4).




(Note that @code{\\set stemLeftBeamCount} is always equivalent to
@code{\\once \\set}.  In other words, the beam count settings are not
@qq{sticky}, so the pair of flat flags attached to the lone
@code{16[]} in the last example have nothing to do with the
@code{\\set} two notes prior.)
