Given the wide variation in the use of the
x-shaped note head I think the only possible
name to use is one that reflects the shape of
the note head - crossNote, crossNoteHead or
similar - rather than trying to find a suitable
generic name which adequately covers all these
disparate uses.
So, if we follow this advice (which I think is good), I'd propose
the
following:
\crossHeadsOn : turns on cross noteheads for all notes
\crossHeadsOff : reverts cross noteheads for all notes
\crossHead : makes the notes in the music expression following the
occurrence have cross heads.
If we define those functions, they'll be generic, and apply to
music of
whatever sort.
If necessary, syntactic sugar could be used to define (for the
convenience
of tablature users)
\deadNotesOn -- set equal to \crossHeadsOn
\deadNotesOff -- set equal to \crossHeadsOff
\deadNote -- set equal to \crossHead
How does this seem?
Seems fine. I have a slight preference for the
later suggestion of \xHeadsOn etc, just because
they are shorter.
