Display Breve as a circle with two lines

Hi all,

in my composition I have a passage with many breves. I’m in the tempo of halfnote = 50 to make it easier to conduct and staying in the same tempo marking within the same section.
As I don’t want many useless ties, I changed the meter to 4/2, to fit longer durations in one measure.

In this case I want to write many double whole notes / breves.

Dorico usually shows me this notehead:

However, I want this symbol:

Is there an easy way to change the default display of the breve in general?

Thanks in advance!

Engraving Options has all the options about how the style or look of your music. Under the Notes category, there is this:

Note that Dorico displays the “old-style” rectangular breve in the tool panel, regardless of which style is selected in your music.
