I don't have an opinion yet.  Reason: The thicker the shape in your
PDF, the less rounded are the corners -- this distorts the stroke too
much IMHO to find a reasonable variant.  I suggest to use the `minus'
glyph as a template w.r.t. the round corners.

You can look up the whole Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (NMA) online:
