I'm not sure it's the right approach to include conditional code in
the backend which is dependent on the context; it would be simpler to
set the flag type using a callback for the Stem object.

If you have a look at the News page for version 2.12, you'll see two
examples of custom flags, which could easily be adapted to override
the default behaviour just for minims.
