Hi List,

I have the following construction:

----------------------
\version "2.19.82"
\relative c, {
\clef "bass_8"
\textLengthOn
  \override Staff.NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t
  \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic-mixed
  <<
    {
      \oneVoice
      eih^\markup { \right-align "Sul D" }--\harmonic
    }
    \\
    {
      \oneVoice
      \tiny
      \override Stem.stencil = ##f
      \override Flag.stencil = ##f
      \override ParenthesesItem.font-size = #0
      { \ottava #1 < \parenthesize ceh'''>4 s }
    }
  >>
}
----------------------------
What I actually want is for the fingered note to appear in the correct
location in the staff (so, just above the middle line), and the ottava to
apply only to the sounding harmonic note above it in parentheses. This
becomes important in higher-order harmonics, where you otherwise have two
notes that are separated by two or three octaves and it starts taking up a
lot of vertical space.

Is there a way to do this?

Cheers,

A
(And yes, I know quartertones are technically wrong. This is 1) an example
from a Stockhausen piece, and he's a dilettante who never was about correct
harmonic representation, and 2) if I were to do it properly I'd need to
import all my own custom accidentals as glyphs, and that's way too much
work for a musical example of a piece from a composer I clearly loathe)
