This may sounds crazy, but if you’re just making your score for printout purpose only, then you might also try to enter the sfzp (for the moment) as a Lyric text, set then the font —maybe— to Baskerville Bold Italic, size : 12 points.
Yes - I can do all of thee things. Likewise, I could export it as a PDF and use Adobe Illustrator to draw a dancing elephant on the staves - what I’m asking for is a shortcut…
@NorFonts is a fellow user giving different options for you to work around the issue. I’m sure the developers took already note of the request and might be considering it for a future version.
Another option is to create a playing technique with the desired combination of characters using the Bravura font. Default position “Below”. You can assign a popover shortcut for it.
With this method, you could even input dancing elephants made in Illustrator and invoke them whenever you like.

excellent. End of discussion.
Webern op 21 2nd movt Bar68 in 1st horn and in some following bars too.
Mahler 6, first movement comes to mind: sfp in brass m. 47, Timpani m. 100, Trombones m. 108, low brass m. 365, Trumpet 1 m. 436, etc.
He also uses fp, and of course many sf.
I read sfp as a harder attack than fp, with the same immediate dim.
