I'm trying to create a function to display harmonics as shown in the attached images.
harmonic1.png is in the alto clef with the sounded pitches written in the treble clef [image: Inline images 3] harmonic4.png is an acciaccatura all in the alto clef [image: Inline images 4] This is where I got to: harmonicFingered = #(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?) #{ \stemNeutral #note #}) harmonicActual = #(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?) #{ \once \override Accidental #'font-size = #-4 \once \override Accidental #'extra-offset = #'(2 . 0) \tweak Stem #'stencil ##f \tweak Flag #'stencil ##f \tweak #'font-size #-4 \tweak #'X-offset #1.75 #note #}) harmonicActualGrace = #(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?) #{ \once \override Accidental #'font-size = #-4 \tweak Stem #'stencil ##f \tweak Flag #'stencil ##f \tweak #'font-size #-4 #note #}) harmonicBoth = #(define-music-function (parser location fingered actual) (ly:music? ly:music?) #{ <<{\harmonicFingered $fingered } \new Voice {\harmonicActual $actual }>> \oneVoice #}) harmonicGrace = #(define-music-function (parser location fingered actual) (ly:music? ly:music?) #{ <<{\harmonicFingered $fingered } \new Voice {\harmonicActualGrace $actual }>> \oneVoice #}) (for everything except acciaccaturas/grace notes I am putting the sounded pitch after the fingered pitch to be consistent (the original score has some before and some after) - for acciaccaturas I am aligning them vertically). Which gets things more or less right for most situations - e.g. \harmonicBoth <e\harmonic>4_\flageolet e'} However, I would be very grateful if someone could help me to a) clean up the function a bit to be more Lilypondian - I don't think I have done things in the correct/logical way here (I am quite new to this!) b) if possible allow adding a treble clef or ottava to the sounded pitch c) make slurs/tuplet brackets etc. avoid the notehead in the same way as they do normal noteheads. As an aside, why do \flageolets always appear above the note unless specified with a _? Many thanks!
