    Andrew and Sharon, et al,
    
    To say that it can't do this "out of the box" is definitely true. To
    say that it just plain "can't" is definitely NOT true. I created a
    stylesheet that applied the irregularization (ha! I created a new
    word based on yours!) to just about everything--clefs, noteheads,
    stems, flags, slurs, etc--to give it that human-touched feel. It
    worked pretty well. There was one oddity I encountered in the
    process, though. When I irregularized the flags, I noticed that a
    flag is printed for EVERY note within the same chord! Crazy, I know.
    Sounds like an unnecessary thing if you ask me. At their default
    position, they are all right on top of each other so you don't
    notice, but when you 
    
    \override Flag.stencil = #(irregularize
        ... )
    
    that is where you see the glyph multiplicity. Under "normal" usage,
    this isn't a problem. But still, it seems like something that isn't
    needed.
    
    Unfortunately, I somehow erased that stylesheet that had a really
    nice, generic function so you could just do something like:
    
    \handwrite Flag
    
    and you'd have to do (sigh), but it isn't really that hard to
    create. It's definitely an interesting thought-experiment!
    
    My 2 cents,
    Abraham
