I'm using shape notes in some music I'm writing. There is one part of the music that needs to be notated as spoken. However, when I apply the override code as given in the documentation, I only get shape notes. Is there some command that I have to put in to turn shape notes off?

Here's my code:

\relative c' {
    \clef treble \key a \major \time 6/8 \autoBeamOff \aikenHeads
    a4 b8 cis4 a8 gis8 gis a b4. \bar "" \break
    b4 cis8 d4 b8 a a b cis4. \bar "" \break
    cis4 d8 e4 cis8 d d e fis8 \bar "" \break
\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross a8 a a4. a4. a4. r4. \revert NoteHead #'style \bar ".|."
}

As \aikenHeads is a shortcut for a lengthy \set shapeNoteStyles command, you can use \set shapeNoteStyles = #'#(default) to get things back to normal.
