Showing accidentals in parentheses

You can show individual accidentals in parentheses, and also hide/show accidentals individually. For example, you can show an accidental in parentheses on subsequent notes in tie chains that cross system/frame breaks.

1. Select the notes whose accidental appearance you want to change, or beside which you want to show cautionary accidentals. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
   Note

   You can only select individual noteheads within tie chains in Engrave mode.

2. In the Properties panel, activate Accidental in the Notes and Rests group.
3. Select one of the following options from the menu:

   • Show

   • Hide

   • Parenthesize

     Note

     Hiding accidentals does not affect the pitch of notes in playback.
