Stems and ties on artificial harmonics

[John MacCallum]

Hi all,

I've just started using Lilypond and I'm having some trouble with  
artificial harmonics.  There are two problems with the following code  
snippet:

1.  The stem on the first artificial harmonic is on the wrong side  
(I'm sure there's an easy fix for this that I'm overlooking, but  
either way, this shouldn't be the default behavior).
2.  The diamond shaped note should be tied with a dotted or dashed tie 
—not with a regular tie—but I can't figure out how to do this.  I  
suppose if the top tie could be suppressed, I could do it with the  
\postscript command, but that seems like a lot of work.


top = {
	e'''8.\flageolet <eih' gih'\harmonic>16~ <eih'~ gih'\harmonic>4  
<eih'~ gih'\harmonic>2 \bar "|"
}

\context GrandStaff <<
	\new Staff = "top" { e'''8.\flageolet <eih' aih'\harmonic>16~ <eih'~  
aih'\harmonic>4 \bar "|" }
        \new Staff = "bottom" {s2}
>>

\layout {
        \context{
                \Score
        }
}


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
