It's true I was not clear when I said "behave". I meant that horizontal
and straight flags (should) have the same thickness and distance as beams
(when beams are outside the staff, now in lilypond they are thicker and
more separated). 

With respect to that, yes, in modern music notation beams are more often
than not located outside the staff. As I mentioned in my previous mail, in
modern music notation, stems are typically much longer than the default in
lilypond.

For straight flags, the criterion seems to be: stems always end in the
middle of a space (or the equivalent outside the staff), and the base of
each additional flag is located one staff-space apart (i.e., also in the
middle of a space).

For examples, please see attached the two excerpts from Le Marteau sans
maître that I forgot to include in my previous mail, and another excerpt
from Zeitmaße. 

Best,
