Description

Your idea

IMV, it would be expedient to allow the user to apply parentheses from the note input toolbar – in particular from the accidentals section.

Could this feature be added to the accidentals section, or at least be an option in the "Customixe toolbar" list?

Problem to be solved

IMV, this would make the parentheses more discoverable, particularly for beginners.
