Stopped (X) note heads are used in guitar music to signal a place where the
guitarist must play a certain note or chord, with its fingers just
touching the strings instead of fully pressing them. This gives the sound a
percussive noise-like sound that still maintains part of the original
pitch. It is notated with cross noteheads; this is
demonstrated in Special noteheads.
