Hi Trevor, and thanks for the scans! I did some work last night, and a new and better patch is attached.

I've renamed the property to circled-tip. Height and thickness is now read from the hairpin properties. The width of the hairpin is now modified when circled tips are used. I also use a circle drawing routine now (instead of the hack in the previous patch).

I'll take a look at the examples you sent and do some more work today. The n glyph is still the same as the previous patch.

Also the attachments would help.
