Are there horizontal isosceles triangular noteheads in Dorico?

Hello,

I have a quick question about triangular noteheads in Dorico.

I am looking for horizontally oriented isosceles triangular noteheads in both directions: one pointing to the right and one pointing to the left.

As far as I can tell, the only horizontal triangular noteheads currently available are right triangles, either tapering to the left or tapering to the right. I know Dorico includes isosceles triangular noteheads in other orientations, such as vertically tapering forms, but I have not been able to find any horizontal isosceles versions.

I have looked through the available notehead options and related categories, but perhaps I have missed them. If there are no built-in noteheads of this kind, I would be very interested to know what other users are using instead.

Are people creating custom noteheads, borrowing them from another set, or relying on some other workaround?

Many thanks in advance.

As far as I know, you can create your own glyphs with a font software (I use Glyphs 3) and use the wherever you want. Granted, it’s probably too expensive for just two triangles, there is probably a faster/easier/cheaper solution.

I’d be surprised you can’t find those triangles in the plethoric fonts provided with Dorico (or any zingbat font available on the internet)

Thank you!

I did it using fughetta.ttf. This old font is still useful!
