The notehead type indicates shapes other than the open and closed ovals associated with note durations. The values do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and ti correspond to Aikin's 7-shape system.The arrow shapes differ from triangle and inverted triangle by being centered on the stem. Slashed and back slashed notes include both the normal notehead and a slash. The triangle shape has the tip of the triangle pointing up; the inverted triangle shape has the tip of the triangle pointing down.
