For MusiXTeX I know the solution. Looking at the definition of e.g.
\qu, \dqu, ... you see how you may get whatever you want as notehead:
\makeatletter
\def\my@symbol{\def\q@u{}}
\def\myqu{\my@symbol\@qu}
\makeatother
\generalmeter{\meterfrac{X}{Y}}
\startextract\Notes\qu{abcdef}\en\bar\Notes\myqu{abcdef}\en\endextract
\def\mynotehead{\lower1.5\internote\hbox{X}}
\makeatletter\def\my@symbol{\def\q@u{\mynotehead}}\makeatother
\startextract\Notes\qu{abcdef}\en\bar\Notes\myqu{abcdef}\en\endextract\bye

s.a. - works for MusiXTeX.
