Late to the party, but you are right on the money, Owen. This is why in
bmusicfonts I manually cut the Bravura flags to match Emmentaler's when
creating a LilyPond-native font from Bravura.

Hi all,
I've been working on making flags appear at the correct position for both
Emmentaler and Bravura, and I've hit a snag.
Emmentaler's flag glyphs are minimal: they deliberately don't overwrite
