Comment #9 on issue 3543 by [email protected]: Notehead of harmonic whole note too narrow
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3543

Well, x\harmonic is a mixed harmonic, intended to be displayed in combination with a full notehead. The Villa-Lobos, however, is supposed to demonstrate a full harmonic able to stand on its own. The frets are 0-11-11-9-(12)-x so the harmonic notehead indicates both fingered and audible pitch (which is how first harmonics behave).

If I use
\relative f'' {
   \key e \minor
   <<
     { \tweak style #'harmonic b1 }
     \\
     {
       \set tieWaitForNote = ##t \stemUp
       \grace { e,,,16~[ gis'~ cis~ e~] } <e,, gis' cis e>1
     }
   >>
}

Then I still get a non-vertical notecolumn as opposed to omitting the tweak in order to get a normal notehead, and tweaked or untweaked there is a "clashing note column" warning as well which can be removed by putting \stemDown before the semibreve chord in the second voice. Sort of absurd since whole notes don't have an actual stem.

However, getting rid of the note column warning does not change the alignment: it stays fine with the default notehead and gets skewed with the harmonic notehead.

I'd argue that the mixed harmonic notehead should always be employed inside of chords (and that's what \harmonic delivers) with its main note, so its alignment is not much of a cause for worry.

But the pure harmonic notehead should align even in a stack of whole notes.
