design custom notehead
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
Is there a way to make a notehead? I want a square notehead, but I don't like the 2 that are available, E0B8 and E0B9. I want it kind of like E0B8, which is just an open square, but the sides need to be thicker, so that it looks more like a note. Is that possible to do?

One way to do it:
Hide the real notehead, and add a false notehead as a shape articulation.
* See the attached files (the Finale document is in v27 format)
However, this is time consuming.
I would not like to do “a gazillion notehads” in this way.
The “professional way” is a custom notehead font, created with a font editor (as motet pointed out).
