Alternative styles of flag on eighth and shorter notes can be displayed by overriding the <code>stencil</code> property of <code>Flag</code>. Valid values are <code>modern-straight-flag</code>, <code>old-straight-flag</code>, and <code>flat-flag</code>.

<lilypond version="2.24">
testnotes = {

\score {

    \time 2/4
    \testnotes
  
    \override Flag.stencil = #modern-straight-flag
    \testnotes
  
    \override Flag.stencil = #old-straight-flag
    \testnotes
  
    \override Flag.stencil = #flat-flag
    \testnotes
  
    \revert Flag.stencil
    \testnotes
  }
  \layout {
    \context {
