Harmonics and regular notes same measure different voices

Hey everyone. I'm creating a score for classical guitar and I've run into a problem combining harmonics and regular notes in the same measure in different voices. If I do something like this: \version 2.16.1 { \harmonicsOn e'4 f' g' \harmonicsOff} \\ {a4 b c} then the harmonic noteheads are
