That is ALMOST correct, but incomplete.  The harmonic of the 4th (the

Yes, I worded it poorly. I meant that the sources say that a notehead with a diamond notehead *appropriately* above it should be used for artificial harmonics.

This is something, like writing for harp
or giving registrations for pipe organ, that you should not attempt
without knowing exactly what you're doing.

But isn't that an advantage of just using the circle notation? It indicates to the player the desired pitch and the fact that it should be a harmonic, and leaves the details to the player.

Thanks,
Aaron.
