... a question come up about the name for some notation.In rock (and maybe jazz) guitar, there is a note described as a "dead note" that is notated in both tablature and staff notation with a cross- style notehead. This note is played on a muted string, so it gets rhythm but noreal pitch.The code has been developed with the name \deadNotesOn, \deadNotesOff, and\deadNote.The same notation appears to be used in woodwinds for what is sometimescalled a "ghost note".
Blatter, "Instrumentation/Orchestration", p. 79, uses such note-heads for saxes and flutes playing "key slap", that is, the sound is produced by closing the key heavily, without blowing, and in the course damaging the padding :-). They can be both pitched and of unspecified pitched. In the latter case, the staff is a single line.
