Correct. (Attached is the original image showing the weird optical
effect: the noteheads are all actually the same size and the triangle
bases touch stafflines completely ... and the result is that staffline
noteheads appear smaller somehow.)

Very good. I'll check with Max and see if we can try a bigger vertical
size (while also letting staffspace noteheads connect completely to
get rid of the gap).
