Parentheses around multiple notes
In a previous version, I could insert parentheses around a note as in (a), and then move the left or right bracket so that the parentheses included multiple notes. In this version, if I try to do this, the program just moves the other notes and keeps the parentheses around the one note as in (b). Is this a bug, or is there another way to do this?

Put the parentheses around both the first and last notes, then select the extra ones and press v to make them invisible. If you have View->Show invisible checked in the menu, it will look gray when it's invisible but it won't print.

That's a good work-around, thanks!
I just noticed that this work-around is no longer working: if I select an opening or closing parenthesis and untick the "Visible" option in the inspector, it remains visible when printed and in the score (regardless of the View > Show invisible setting), although the option remains unticked in the inspector.

I cannot reproduce, for me an invisible parenthesis disappears as expected. Can you attach the score you are having trouble with?
Note I wouldn't actually recommend this workaround, it seems much clumsier than needed. Simply delete the parentheses you don't want; I don't see any added value in keeping them but making them invisible.

Yes, deleting an unwanted parenthesis works and is a better solution, thanks.
