Artificial Harmonics

I am writing a string piece that uses a lot of false or artificial harmonics. Is there a shortcut to changing noteheads? I need to indicate the note that is fingered (with a conventional black note) AND the note to be played with a harmonic (with a white diamond) on each string but changing each note manually is a pain in the proverbial buttocks. Suggestions welcome!

Yes. JW Change > Noteheads > Shape > Hollow diamond
You can specify the "top note," and one click does them all. (I know nothing of harmonics, so I chose the intervals at random!)

use the TGTools plugin for harmonics, if they are only 4th and 5th harmonics.
if you need anything else then use the JWChange plugin as Miker mentioned.

If you're familiar with JW Lua, I modified one of Jari's scripts to change all possible harmonics in a given region. By default, it also only checks for valid harmonics.

Just install as you would any other JW Lua Script, highlight the entire music region with harmonics, and run!
