Notehead and accidental parentheses in palette
In the palette, we have a parentheses in 'Accidentals' and 'Note Heads' for their respective purposes.
I think these should be in another section called 'Parentheses', because they don't do the same thing as other objects in their current locations.
What do others think?

Parenthesis aren't limited to accidentals and noteheads. Also, they can also appear as either round, or square.
Here are some examples:

How should we address this?

Yes, almost anything can be parenthesized.
But, at least for my needs, accidentals, note heads, figured bass elements, slurs and articulations are the most frequent cases (or less infrequent cases...).
The first three are already covered. For the other, there is always the old trick of adding a text element around the item to parenthesize. Cumbersome (and not exportable), but tolerable if it is really occasional.
(Incidentally, I am not sure about one of the Lilypond examples you quote, where all the note heads in a chord have parentheses: shouldn't the whole chord be parenthesized in such a case? I doubt that the source had a stem alone without any note head, but this is what such a notation implies.)
The difference between round and square parentheses is a matter of discussion. It would be nice to support, but possibly at a later stage?
Other perspectives?
