“There remain quite a few different strategies in notating harmonics. Perhaps the clearest is the way in which Elliott Carter writes them. He always includes three notations no matter whether writing natural harmonics or artificial. First, in the proper rhythm, he writes the pitch of the open or the stopped string.
