Sure. Use a big one. Make it invisible and use Ctrl + T to enter the text you want in the size you want.

Thanks - hadn't thought about making the big one invisible.
However, wouldn't the 8va would apply to everything in the stave? Maybe a function allowing for local use would be useful?

Local use. Create another voice, with a note an octave higher and make it invisible. This is typically the case where a new feature would make the UI harder to use for very few use cases.

Actually, I don't think there are very few use cases.
Up-to you.

I'm sure one could come up with lots of situations where it might make sense to apply 8va "locally" (eg, to one voice but not another). But I think the question should be, are these cases actually *common* in the published music of the past few centuries. I'd 99% of the occurrences of 8va apply to the entire staff for the entire score of the symbol. But counterexamples from the standard literature would certainly change *my* mind.
That particular guitar score is very confused.
The symbols both for natural and artificial (pinched) harmonics have been used, for the same notes and the display of the octave notes is unnecessary, and is in fact incorrect according to the TAB, which, incidentally is the only proper clue as to the correct performance :)
However, notation of harmonics in guitar music has only become standard since the 1990's so there will be a lot of "rogue" versions around.
