Two adjacent heads can be tied together with the @code{\pes} and

respectively.
+@funindex \augmentum
+Use the unary music function @code{\augmentum} to add augmentum dots.
+
+@refbugs
+
+When an @code{\augmentum} dot appears at the end of the last staff
+within a ligature, it is sometimes vertically placed wrong. As a
+workaround, add an additional skip note (e.g. @code{s8}) as last note
+of the staff.
+@code{\augmentum} should be implemented as a head prefix rather than a
+unary music function, such that @code{\augmentum} can be intermixed
+with head prefixes in arbitrary order.
