I concur with that. And I appologize for coming late to this discussion,
jobhunting and speculative programming work has distracted me from
following threads I should have taken more interest in.
If dead-note marking was the only use for a cross-head symbol that would
make this academic, but it isnt the only use. Percusion instruments are
differentiated in condensed orchestral scores by a variety of note heads
for each instrument shown on the common stave, and the cross head is used
for that purpose (cymbals in the one illustration I saw online).
Please dont rename the cross head, it has a name, predating any usage
stemming from rock musicians jargon. That name is further 'blessed' by
the unicode standard, "Musical Symbol X Notehead", 1D143.
