I haven't seen any woodwind parts with harmonics but would be surprised if the circle really was that small that your example gives. I

Thanks! The marks I have seen in print are about 70% of the current \flageolet diameter, but I don't want to trouble anybody with making new markups and then tweaking them to centre them over the note heads. I will suggest the original, unaltered articulation. Andrew 2008/8/4 Mats Bengtsson <[EMA
