Is there a way to add the fit size parentheses to the chord note heads?

• Feb 13, 2025 - 08:37

I know that I can use double-height or triple height parenthesis in the master palettes. But it's not automatically suit the position. Is there a way like just select the notes and a click? Thank you.

There seem to be two separate problems here:

I can't see any way to adjust the size of the parentheses available on the Noteheads palette, where the default size seems to me too small. There is no Font Size property in the Properties panel for Opening or Closing Parenthesis. Nor are the Parentheses listed in this menu path: Format > Style... > Text Styles
The parentheses available on the Noteheads palette do not automatically adjust in height if a chord (multiple stacked notes) is selected.

Unless I am wrong, this probably needs a Feature Request on Github. There are existing Github requests which describe several problems with parentheses. This request is perhaps relevant:

Thank you. I think this feature request is the one I looking for. Is it planned? I didn't find the option even in the latest nightly builds.

If you read the Github issue, you will see the status:
- the issue is still open
- the issue has been added to the "MuseScore Studio Backlog"

So it's certainly not something you can yet expect to see in a nightly release.

Thank you. I see.
I read that there's a screenshot for it. I thought that it maybe already available in some branch or nightly build. Thanks for clarification. Is there any way to vote for this feature request to escalate it?

"Is there any way to vote for this feature request to escalate it?"

Perhaps add a comment on that Github issue? Wording like this:

Look at the attachments and you will understand. I apologize for the English, but I don't know the language.

At step 2 there is a search bar at the top ("Cerca") that will speed up the finding of those. :) In English they are called "Triple-height left parenthesis" and "Triple-height right parenthesis".

I know this way. I mention this in the first post. But it's not automatically fit the position and the size like the original single note parentheses do. I have to move and modify the size myself. I would like to see a better way in the feature request issue.
