Title [MusicXML] Notehead in tempo text missing ⇒ [MusicXML] Note glyph in tempo text imported from 1.3 missing when exporting to MusicXML

It's not just a notehead; it's a the entire quarter note glyph (quarter note = 80). Note this works fine if the symbol is added within 2.0 - it's only an issue for imported 1.3 scores that are then exported to MusicXML. I assume that's because for 2.0, we use standard Unicode codepoints for these glyphs; 1.3 used proprietary glyphs. I guess the export facility should special case those symbols and convert them to Unicode.

In this case, the internal representation of the quarter note glyph is <sym>unicodeNoteQuarterUp</sym> (as is expected), but the tempo text also contains formatting, which confuses the regular expression match used to recognize the text as a tempo text. Solution is to remove the formatting before regular expression matching.

Will fix this, but will take a few days.
