May I suggest adding an open star to the available symbols in the Breathes and Pauses palette?

It appears as a breath indicator in 19th Century vocal scores (example from Marco Bordogni's 12 Vocalises for Baritone)

There is some reference in the code to the possibility of adding support for another breah symbol provided by the Bravura font, but from what I can tell, it isn't that one. I don't see a symbol like that in Bravura, which si the font we rely on for uncommon symbols like that. You might want to discuss this with Steinberg, the providers of this font. If the symbol is provided, it's not hard to add support for it.
