Special note heads

Note heads may be altered:

     
     c4 b a b
     \override NoteHead #'style = #'cross
     c4 b a b
     \revert NoteHead #'style
     c4 d e f

There is a shorthand for diamond shapes which can only be used inside chords:

     
     <c f\harmonic>2 <d a'\harmonic>4 <c g'\harmonic>
