Doesn't the "text" part of SMuFL look like it's what one would need for
that purpose?
That's precisely what BravuraText (or any other [SMuFL]Text font) was
designed for, so most of the glyphs are re-positioned/sized to follow
the normal text baseline rather than their music positioning and size.
They usually have zero-width side bearings, though, so you'll need to
add some manual space around each symbol.
There's still the issue with actually getting the symbol as a unicode
char. Whether you use Bravura, Emmentaler, or virtually any other
non-Sibelius/Finale/etc. font, you'll may need to use some character
viewer to be able to view+select+copy+paste it into your editing app. On
the one hand, if you did want to use BravuraText, I suggest going to the
SMuFL gitbook <https://w3c.github.io/smufl/gitbook/> which uses real
characters at their real code points which you can select+copy+paste
just like normal text. You just need to have a SMuFL font installed like
BravuraText to render the character correctly. I've done that many times.
HTH,
Abraham
