Special Characters in ALL text fields
It is really bothersome to only be able to access special characters in the performance text field. It looks ridiculous to have "Choral in Bb" for example, when there should be a flat sign. I can accept that it may not be desirable for these to always auto format, but I really need {flat} to produce a flat symbol in all text fields, but especially in the Title, subtitle, and text before and after a system.
In particular, imagine a simple scale sheet, with multiple scales. I want to label each, and have space in between each key. I can't use "Text before a system," which would take care of this perfectly, because I cannot get a flat sign, or other special musical notation, in the Text before a system text block. Really, I've found no good way to customize the positioning of systems at all...

Yes! Please allow the use of all available text & musical symbols in all text fields. There should also be a way to place any text & musical symbols as text anywhere on a musical staff. Several musical characters are available in the Microsoft Segoe UI Symbol set, beginning at Character Code 1D100, Unicode (Hex), and there are likely other sources. But it doesn't appear that it is possible to "cut & paste" these special characters as text into Noteflight. For example, in harp music, the "Coda" symbol 𝄌 is used to indicate muffling (i.e., silencing) vibrating strings, but Noteflight only allows its use as "Coda;" the symbol cannot be placed anywhere else. This would also allow for the placement of special non-playing note characters on the musical staff. Again in harp music, lever changes are often indicated by placing a diamond shaped whole-note symbol on the staff to indicate which string to change, but the "note" is not played.
