Hi Urs, to me it looks pretty much optimal. To be more precise:
I like: + the top edge is at a defined position between the staff lines + it has round edges (as far as I can tell) + the distance from the note head/stem is good (positioning in general) I find acceptable but other choices could also look good: - the length of the vertical line (shorter?) - it is hard to tell from the png how wide it is as even the stems have different widths in the image. But I would probably make it a bit thinner. About the thickness of a staff line. At most as thick as a stem.
