I am currently working on integrating the "interactive named notes" functionality into this plugin, so that the tablature is updated automatically.

While working on this, I found out that there is no way to use the 16 hole chromatic as is, I have tried adding new fonts to the ones provided, particularly, adding an over dot to the first 4 holes in the lower register.

It is customary to label the harmonica 16 holes in the hardware as:

1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Instead of:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

This has the added beneffit of allowing one to play the part that fits in a 12 hole chromatic, without having to change the tablature, this also makes easy to distinguish the notes that are out of range in a 12 hole, that are available in the 16 hole.

I spent some days trying to make it look nice, but when zoomed out it looks too small, turns out I suck at graphical design and at this point, I would like to request help to make the fonts I describe.

You can see the current fonts in the attached file.

Best regards.
