Hello,I am trying to create noteheads (without stems) that have a duration

than a quarter note (crotchet) but are filled-in. They are meant to

not
sure how to do this; one workaround is to use a quarter note value and 
a
spacer rest, but this results in too much empty space. I tried 
\override
NoteHead.glyph-name = #'"noteheads.s2", but that did not work.

Example below (the notes are arbitrary):

\version "2.23.7"
\relative c''
{ << { \override Parentheses.font-size = #-1.5 \omit Flag \omit Stem
       \teeny \tweak X-offset #0.2

%% the higher voice should have filled-in noteheads

       <\parenthesize d \parenthesize f>2 } \\
     { <d,\harmonic g\harmonic>2 } >> <d g> }
You can scale the duration of any note so as to preserve its normal 
appearance but take up the required length:
%%%%
\fixed c' { b4*2 a | b4*3 a4 | b4*4 | a1 }
%%%%
