+Sacred Harp notation uses four shaped note heads.  In the major,
+the tonic is a triangle and then proceeding up the scale you
+have circle, square, triangle, circle, square, diamond.  In the
+minor, the shapes should be assigned to keep the same interval
+relationships, e.g. you assign them for the relative major.  (This
+means that the scale in the minor gives the tonic a square.)

+
+The \sacredHarpHeads command gives the wrong shapes when the key
+is minor.  A work-around is to switch the key to the relative
+major to obtain the right shapes.
