Re: How do I put parentheses around some notes?

[Father Gordon Gilbert]

Reinhold -

The parenthesis thing you pointed to doesn't help.  What I want is to parenthesize a complete chord, not just individual notes, and I've searched the lsr and the index  of the manual and can't find it.  What I have is four parts with their collective notes  (naturally for a hymn), and for certain of the lines of lyrics, some stanzas have a leading note, some don't.  So the chord that is a leading note needs to be parenthesized.  How do I do that?

Also, for dashed or dotted slurs, I don't know if it's my PDF display that doesn't show it, but it doesn't seem dotted to me -- simply greyed-out.  jEdit with the built-in PDF display.  If I print it, should it be OK?

See the LSR for this (parenthesis around one note or even one note inside a
chord):

dashed or dotted slur:

Hope that helps ;-)
