I understand the motivation for requesting this change, but I don't think
this is crucial: to be absolutely correct about it I think it would
require the creation of a new range of glyphs for jazz techniques common
to both brass and woodwind instruments, which I'm disinclined to do unless
there is a lot of demand from the community.

The challenge here is that Bravura is intended to be a traditional
"engraved" font, i.e. based on metal punches rather than handwriting. So I
opted for an engraved appearance for Bravura, in keeping with the rest of
the font.
