Large round note heads

• Feb 4, 2022 - 20:56

I would like large round note heads to emulate EXPlay music books. See the attachement from here https://www.ezplaymusic.com/e-zplaytoday103twochordsongs.aspx.

I know how to make the small heads 200% and add the note name into the note. But the slanted shape is a problem. See the second attachment Doe a Deer.mscz

The shape of the notehead is dictated by the musical symbols font and none of those included with MuseScore off that circular shape.
At this point the only solution I can come up with (which only works for 1/4th and shorter notes) is to make a small black circular image (SVG), add it to your score and then Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Drag it into a palette. You can now use it as a custom (meaningless) graphic symbol.
Select all black notes (use right-click(Ctrl+click on Mac) and the Select > More options), then click your SVG in the palette and make the stacking order so that is placed just beneath the normal noteheads.
