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?
