I haven't had a look at Gitarre&Bass for quite a while … and I'm certainly not opposed to personal preferences.
My only concern is that the command name "\palmMute" gives the impression that triangle note heads are in common use to illustrate palm muted notes. Obviously various symbols are being used for this purpose. I'd prefer a neutral name for this command (e.g. \triangleNoteHead) so that it can be used for different purposes. The symbol should also be added to chapter B.7 Note head styles.
