diamond is mentioned in [1], and it seems as if NoteHead styles can be 
read from the possible note names at [2] and the following section; this 
would explain la and others like mi, laWalker, laThin. It looks like 
these note heads are made for notating solfege but I’ve never seen a 
notated example.
