It seems that Bravura Text is really only meant for toy examples in text 
editors/word processors. For complete notation, Bravura and some 
software to do line drawing is required.

In a browser, it is pretty straightfoward to bundle small components 
using Bravura and SVG, and deploy them on an SVG drawn staff as appropriate.
