This paper presents a new visual editor called ENP Note Head Designer (henceforward ND). ND is aimed at assisting both novice and expert users to design custom note heads in ENP. Both visual and text-based interfaces are provided. Using the latter approach it is possible to take advantage of the power of Common Lisp, CLOS, and OpenGL (the base languages of ENP). The former approach, in turn, allows to use a set of graphical tools to define the note heads visual appearance. It is also possible to mix these approaches. Furthermore, the note heads are viewed and designed in an actual musical context. These concepts make the current system unique compared to the existing approaches.
