Unable to Add Parentheses Around Notes in MuseScore Guitar Tab

• Sep 25, 2024 - 12:22

I'm currently working on a guitar tab in MuseScore (version 4.4.2), and I'm having trouble adding parentheses around notes. I've tried several methods but can't seem to get the parentheses (or brackets) to appear. Here’s what I’ve attempted so far:

Note Properties Bar: Tried adding parentheses from the properties bar under notehead parentheses.
Noteheads Palette: Selected the notehead with parentheses from the "Noteheads" palette.
Accidentals Palette: Selecting parentheses options in the Accidentals palette - no luck.
Inspector Panel: Checked the Inspector panel for any relevant notehead or parentheses options, but didn’t find any.
Despite trying all these methods, no parentheses are showing up around the notes. I suspect this could be a bug or perhaps a style/formatting issue, but I can’t seem to find any options in the Format > Style menu related to this parentheses/notehead formatting etc.

Has anyone else encountered this issue in MuseScore 4? If so, is there a known fix or workaround? Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Look at Format / Style / Tablature (it's new, since 4.4 from memory) at the bottom of the list, just above "Text Styles", and try the various options (ie Parentheses indicating Ties) ?
