It would be nice to be able to select noteheads with alphabetic note names inside (available in Bravura, U+E150 to U+E1AF) as part of the NoteHead groups (note.cpp 61-94 noteheads).

I've been experimenting with some plugin code - I can get alphabetic noteheads to appear on the score (using the STAFF_TEXT element seems to work well) - provided the StaffText style is set to the Bravura font, and appropriate font size. Haven't tried placement (i.e, over a hidden notehead) yet - not sure how easy it would be to place the position of the staff text directly in place of an existing notehead. I also have not been able to find a way to set the staff text style from within the plugin - all the font and size information in the plugin is over-ridden by the text style set within the program itself.
