When I tried this just now in FinMac 2012, I had trouble getting the quarter note head into the Shape Designer. According to the Character Map, option-q is the stemless quarter note head in Maestro font, but it kept giving me sf instead. Sf is SUPPOSED to be option-s, and when I tried that it gave me a stacatto and accent. The parentheses entered no problem. Changing the font gave the same results. Hmm.
