Is it possible to notate slap-tonguing (accent for note head)?
On flute, slap tonguing notation replaces the regular notehead with an accent symbol. How can I replicate this?

Probably a few ways this could be done, but I'd probably do it by clicking the notehead, pressing "V" to mark it invisible, then pressing "Z" to display the Symbols palette, typing "accent" into the search box, then double clicking either the accent above (for downstem notes) or accent below (for upstem notes). You can do this multiple notes at once.

It seems that when I do this, the ledger lines disappear. Is there any way to prevent this?

Hmm, use the Inspector to turn the notehead white instead of making it invisible?

Is there an equivalent workaround now in version 4?

The same method described above should work.

Ah, I realized that the Z shortcut doesn't work for showing the
symbols palette. I also don't see "Show symbol palette" in the
shortcuts list in Preferences. I had to open the Master palette first.
It is btw. somewhat strange that the symbols palette has Bravura as font by
default and not Leland. Other than that, the workaround works well.
Thank you!

You're welcome! And yes, it's a known issue that the direct shortcut to the symbols palette is not implemented. It's logged on GitHub and hopefully can be addressed at some point.
