crossed note heads for shouted words

Hello, I'm writing out the music for the "Bob the Builder" theme tune, which has shouted words in it. I believe the correct way to notate this is with notes with crossed heads as opposed to the normal round bits.

From searching the forum I see that this has been wished for a few times, is the wish granted yet or has anyone another way to do it?

Go over to the Scriptorium, helpful files, fonts. You'll find a couple of True Type fonts that contain pre-formed X-head notes that can be used as "text." The "NWCX15" font is NOT the one you want, for this application.

If that doesn't help, go to my site:

And go to the music fonts page. The one you want is "MusiSync." It has both regular and X-head notes. You'll need to use a character map.
