Wind Instrument Fingering Diagram
A pallet for creating wind instrument diagrams would be immensely useful both for as educational tool (for creating fingering charts) and as a compositional tool (for notating multiphonics).
Diagrams would be useful for the following instrument families:
- Flute / Piccolo
- Oboe / English Horn
- Clarinet
- Bassoon / Contrabassoon
- Saxophone
- Recorder
- Brass (for 3 or 4 valved instruments and the option to show "T" for trigger if for french horn)
As trombonists use numbers to notate slide position, I would assume a "slide diagram" for trombone would not be necessary.

I'm guessing this diagram be created using a similar pallet to the harp pedal diagrams, where a diagram is generated through user selected inputs, the user choosing which "keys" are pressed and which ones are not.
Perhaps a plugin may be useful:

There was this plugin for v3, doing most of what the OP wants:
https://musescore.org/en/project/fingering-diagram
But it does not work with MS4 , probably because of this bug:
