76 @c has nothing to do with harps, AFAIK.
78 Sacred Harp notation uses four shaped note heads. In the major,
79 the tonic is a triangle and then proceeding up the scale you
80 have circle, square, triangle, circle, square, diamond. In the
81 minor, the shapes should be assigned to keep the same interval
82 relationships, e.g. you assign them for the relative major. (This
83 means that the scale in the minor gives the tonic a square.)
85 @c TODO add example of \sacredHarpHeads, or a ref?
90 The \sacredHarpHeads command gives the wrong shapes when the key
91 is minor. A work-around is to switch the key to the relative
92 major to obtain the right shapes.
