Different noteheads are used by various instruments for various
meanings – crosses are used for ‘parlato’ with vocalists, stopped
notes on guitar; diamonds are used for harmonics on string instruments,
etc. There is a shorthand (\harmonic
) for diamond shapes; the
other notehead styles are produced by tweaking the property
c4 d \override NoteHead #'style = #'cross e f \revert NoteHead #'style e d <c f\harmonic> <d a'\harmonic>
To see all notehead styles, please see Note head styles.
Program reference: NoteHead.
