+ an integral multiple of staff_space). Hence, it should be
+ sufficient to just take the first note head, assume it's
+ the only one, look if it's on a staff line, and select the
+ flag's shape accordingly. In the worst case, the shape
+ looks slightly misplaced, but that will usually be the
+ programmer's fault (e.g. when trying to attach multiple
+ note heads to a single stem in mensural notation).
