Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
Go to Plugins > Composing/Arranging Tools > Courtesy Accidentals > Add
This may (or may not) add the correct courtesy accidentals. They are often missed. And when it does, there are no parentheses, even when this option is checked in the Configure window. I have found that going to the Configure window, unchecking and rechecking use parentheses, and clicking Add, may or may not add them correctly.
I would expect that once I've configured the plugin, simply tapping ADD should consistently find all places where they are required, and place them.
Thanks for your consideration!
Supporting files, videos and screenshots
In the attached screenshot, please look at mm 44-45, bass clef, voice one. The A naturals in 44 should get a parenthesized flat in 45.
I would happily have uploaded a file, but this forum doesn't accept MuseScoreStudio documents (?)
