Hsrmonics, also called "flagolets" may be indicated by small circles above the notes. They should be accompanied by an 8va to give true pitch if necessary. The diamond shaped note indicates a case where the pitch is not necessarily the true pitch but indicates something else. For harmonics, it indicates the note that would be there if the note were fretted. It is best to have a string indication with it. A small note on the same stem gives the true pitch. Small or regular notes with "arm..." or "harm..." are also standard and have been used for over 200 years. Last, a diamond note may indicate an open string and a fret number where to touch it. This is the newest method, but it doesn't work well with others. It may be a good idea to use combinations, as Villa Lobos sometimes did. Roman numbers indicate position, i. e. the fret of the first finger and no other. Very bad idea for harmonics.
