Description

Your idea

It would be great, if parentheses could be added to articulations (or any symbol).
Like they could be added to accidentals.

Parentheses-on-articulations

Problem to be solved

As note could contain more articulations, probably dynamic height would be required.

Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating the articulation and accidental rendering code in the MuseScore desktop application, then determine how parentheses and multiple articulations are represented; done means parenthesized articulations render correctly without collisions or inadequate dynamic height.
