Guitar harmonics (range and notehead question)

Hello!
I’m copying a short simple piece for solo classical guitar.
First question, possibly for guitar players, are these harmonics not possible on guitar?

o
Secondly, I prefer the white diamond notehead but I found no Engraving Option to manage guitar harmonics in any way.
Am I looking in the wrong place or there is not (yet) any option to manage them globally and, instead, one needs to activate this property each time?

Thank you!

Those are possible, string designation open g, b, e at the 12th fret for the Em and the last F# is open b string, 7th fret. You need to add an octave to each though, as harmonics are usually written at pitch.

As for the notehead, I only know of the options in the properties panel.

Something like this, right?


Thanks!

Exactly. It’s very common, even for obvious positions and strings, that string and position is given. The Em is just XII but the F# could also be a fingered harmonic (1st string, 2nd fret fingered and right hand finger over 14th fret plucking with ‘m’ or ‘a’. So that should get a string 2, VII position for clarity (assuming, of course, you want the open harmonic).

I’ll have to ask the composer (a guitar player) who, curiously, added plenty of fingerings apart from these ones :smiley: !
