Wish list - brass articulation marks

Often trumpet and trombone notes are written with + and 0 above the notes to indicate muted or open. These are easy to insert with text until have to do lots of them to include (it happens). Then it's a lot of text clutter, and if you transpose the part, you have to adjust the heights of these symbols. Usually they appear above the staff, regardless of stem direction or vertical position of the note.

(The 0 is best represented as a small circle similar to a degree sign - you can find these in some user fonts.)

It would be nice if + and 0 could be added to the note articulation choices.

Harp scores have a lot of those makings.
I do this way.
