Shape Notes Plugin and 3.0

Is it possible to please update the plugin?
Thank you

To be clear, though: the "current version" of MuseScore is 2.3.2. There is an "alpha" pre-release build of what will eventually become MuseScore 3 that is made available for testing purposes, but it's not the real thing yet. MuseScore 3 is still under development; the current version remains 2.3.2.

is it possible to add such features as a custom clef, new notehead scheme, and the ability to adjust thickness of individual lines in the staff as a plugin? That way I and any other user using it could still update to the latest versions?
