While you're looking this up, could you also check the behaviour of tremolo 
flags on notes with flags (eg. unbeamed 8th notes)? I only have one example 
of this on hand and the behaviour is

Tremolos on stem-up notes with flags are shortened and rectangular (same as 
beamed flags).

Tremolos on stem-down notes with flags are the normal length, but more sloped 
than normal to help them avoid the flag.

This behaviour seems to make sense, but I only have one example so it would be 
nice to have either confirmation or a counter-example/alternate behaviour.

Cheers,
