In row-block order (W′,U,W) with dual bases, a unit-diagonal symplectic flag stabilizer satisfies E=JU​DT and F−FT=DJU​DT. The matrix D is arbitrary. The latter right side is alternating, so each off-diagonal pair of entries of F gives one free choice and each diagonal entry is free. Consequently
∣Q∣=q2k(m−k)+k(k+1)/2.

Reversed dual-basis order inserts a reversal matrix but does not change the count. The argument holds in characteristic two without division by two.
