Wouldn't it make more sense to use large block noteheads instead of

Sorry, I was just talking about clusters. But there's only one large
block
notehead in Maestro, and it's hollow and rectangular. In the special
tools
for notehead, I don't see other options. If you want a rounded solid
notehead, what do you use? Or is there another way of doing it?
I'm frankly astonished at the variety of cumbersome cluster-notation
methods being put forward here. I have always created clusters with the
smart-shape tool: enter just the top and bottom notes of the cluster,
then add a vertical smart-shape line about as thick as a beam (2
points, if I remember correctly) linking the two notes and lying right
alongside the existing, normal stem (if any). For white-note clusters,
use the ordinary, thin smart-shape line, parallel to the stem but well
separated from it.
This strikes me as much quicker, simpler, and more flexible than any
other method mentioned here so far.
