Implementation notes
The so-called "sine" notehead was invented by Conlon Nancarrow as a more compact representation of a note five 8ths (quavers) or 16ths (semiquavers) in duration. It does not appear that Nancarrow ever gave this notehead a formal name, so we have named it after its resemblance to a sine wave.
This range also includes noteheads invented by Henry Cowell, first published in his book New Musical Resources (1930). Cowell suggested using these noteheads to denote tuplet relationships without writing explicit tuplets.
