Recognizing that we may want to change noteheads to
various styles, and that we may want to mix styles in a chord, it
might be a good idea to define a function \changeNoteHead that accepts
a style parameter, and then define \xHead as \changeNoteHead #'cross.

I haven't tried this, and there may be some problems in making it work in a
chord, but I think it's worth a try.
