Research direction

Reproduce the issue in MuseScore using a marching snare drum bar of sixteenth notes with sticking, then change the noteheads to ornatex and circledot. Trace the engraving and sticking-positioning code to compare these noteheads with the default, and verify that the sticking is no longer shifted left in the rendered score.
