Comment #2 on issue 340 by reinhold.kainhofer: \harmonic only works inside  
chords
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=340

If I understand it correctly, this is because the New_fingering_engraver  
(absolutely bad
name, we should rename it; the documentation even says that this is the  
wrong name; Also,
this engraver tries to do two things at the same time, namely creating  
fingering
instructions and processing \harmonic, which are unconnected to me) sets  
the style of the
grob to 'harmonic. If the note is not inside a chor, LilyPond implicitly  
creates a chord
around the note and this chord is passed as the grob (i.e. c\harmonic is  
effectively the
same as <c>\harmonic).

The problem then is that style setting of the chord does not propagate to  
the notes in a
chord, so the notehead processing looks only at the 'style property of the  
individual
note in the chord, which was not changed by the engraver...

The same effect can also be seen by the following two notes, which emulate  
what the
New_fingering_engraver does:

\tweak #'style #'cross c
< \tweak #'style #'cross c>
