Design a notehead

Hi all,
I have some silently-held-down piano notes and I am using the hollow diamond-shaped noteheads for them, however I am lacking (in my chosen Petrucci font) a blacked-in diamond-shaped notehead. I'd like to make one... Which is the best tool / approach for making the noteheads?
Thanks,
Hector.

As far as I know, Petrucci has a filled diamond notehead. Maybe that one doesn't look like what you want. However, it just might.

Hi Zuill,
Thanks, I found the filled-in one.
Here's my best attempt (I reduced the filled-in notehead to 85% to be more like the hollow one).

To my eye, it looks to be a slightly different angle, or a bit more square than the hollow one.

Hi again,
I have just found the two noteheads required.... (I had previously used a hollow harmonic notehead I think, by mistake).
Here is my latest attempt, with all noteheads at 100% now:

Cheers and thanks,

The JW Change plugin can help, too. Noteheads -> Shape -> Filled Diamond. Size can also be adjusted.
