Re: woodwind harmonics (GDP)

[Mats Bengtsson]

The \flageolet articulation is intended for this purpose. At least in
string music, the resulting circle has the size and layout that I
recognize from string music. I haven't seen any woodwind parts with
harmonics but would be surprised if the circle really was that small
that your example gives. It should be visible at one meter distance,
right? If you want the same symbol as \harmonic but with smaller size,
you can rather use
c^\markup{\small \musicglyph #"scripts.flageolet" }
