Parentheses for notes

You can use the parentheses from Create > Symbols...

Or you can use staff text.

yes, but how do you succeed in putting together in the same space of time : a quarter note, and at its sides, a quaver in parentheses ? so that for example in a psalm, for the first stanza, the quarter should be sung, for another stanza, two quavers instead, following the text under the stave ?
for example see the file attached

thanks it would be of much help !

Please don't resurrect an issue that is closed since 7 years, but use a new forum topic instead.
In this case here it seems you need to use voices, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices

It is preferable to use the forum https://musescore.org/en/forum/6
seven years have passed...check whether the attachment meets your needs.
Welcome.

You can already put parentheses around a note by applying the parentheses in either the noteheads palette or or accidentals palette to the note.

For a song with many parenthetical notes, it's rather laborious to click and drag the parentheses over and over again to each note, especially when one needs to align them properly. I'll agree this ought to be a feature of MuseScore.

That is why you can select multiple notes (click one, Ctrl+click more) and then double click the brackets in the noteheads palette to apply to all in one go

Unfortunately, Jojo, that's not the effect I'm looking for - a parenthesis around each notehead looks rather sloppy.

obviously (or maybe not) you should only select those noteheads that you want bracketed

@Gidoza,

If you want parentheses around a group of notes use the master palette and insert them from the symbols. Apply one to the first note and the other to the last note.

Is it possible to put parentheses around a group of grace notes preceding a note to indicate that it is all of them or none?

Add from the Accidental palette and make them invisible?

Thanks Soichi. I've discovered that it is even simpler than that: parentheses that you got by double clicking on notehead symbol come by pair, but their are independent so you can just delete all but the first one and the last one of the group.
Note by doing that I have discovered that making one of them invisible move it and that undo reset the visibility but not the change of position which is clearly a bug.
