After some brainstorming, we think that drawing the accidentals outside the noteheads might be a better solution. Indeed, since the double-accidental enharmonics are not in the font (certainly because of the double-flat) if an user changes the code points for the noteheads, we have to change the note's line, reset the user x-y customization, etc. If the accidantals are drawn outside, we can keep the same customization.

So only the note steps are useful and there it is our solution to our problem because now we can draw Do, Re, Mi, Fa, La, Si inside a notehead. For the three-letters Sol, we can only draw the two letters So.

Another advantage is to really distinguish the english and the european notation at the first sight (D is english and not an abbreviation of Do).

PS : an alternative would be to draw the Si as a S mirrored (a kind of 5). But we prefer the first proposal.

Musically,
