Hi Blake,
Congrats for the release of hummingbirdnotation.com, nice website, nice
communication campaign.
There is no easy way to plug a new music notation font in MuseScore.
However, MuseScore 2.0 will come with 2 musical fonts, so it's definitely
possible to add more fonts.
But these fonts will have to respect common music notation. MuseScore is
tailored for CMN and changing the music notation font would be far from
enough to support Hummingbird.
Actually, as you already figured out, bending MuseScore to support
hummingbird would mean a lot of additional work. (think about Hummingbird's way
to handle accidental,the duration line should be drawn and change length
dynamically, key signature etc...)
