As it turns out, the multiplication operator can give you a 64th note
with only 2 flags.

%%% WORKS %%%

\version "2.9.13"

\new Staff {
  \set Score.autoBeaming = ##f
  c'16 * 1/4 % effectively a 64th note but with only two flags
  c'64
  c'64
  c'64
}

%%% END %%%


So the multiplication operator is definitely a workaround.

Still, can anyone shed some light on using Stem #'duration-log?
