As you have noticed, \harmonic only works within a chord. I'm not sure why
the program is designed this way, since it's perfectly valid notation
practice to
notate a harmonic with a single diamond shaped note head, i.e. with only
a single
note in the chord. You have exactly the same problems with fingerings if
you want
to specify a fingering to the left or right of a note head, then
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
c'-3
doesn't work, whereas
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
<c'-3>
gives the desired output. This may seem to be completely unrelated but
it turns
out that the same engraver handles both fingerings and harmonics in the
current
implementation.
I can easily add a few lines to the manual, clarifying that \harmonic
only works
within a chord, but I think that it would be better to fix the
implementation.

Hi,
It happens that, when I wnat to write an harmonic pitch, it doesn't
work just with:
a4\harmonic
Instead, if I write it as an "one-note chord":
<a4\harmonic>
It works. Is the program suposed to work like that? I'm a 2.6.0
version user.
Perhaps you fixed it in later versions.
