Hiding/Showing or parenthesizing harmonic accidentals

You can show harmonic accidentals in round or square brackets and hide/show accidentals individually, independently of hiding/showing or parenthesizing accidentals of stopped pitch notes.

Procedure

  1. Select the harmonics whose accidentals you want to hide/show or parenthesize.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Accidental in the Harmonics group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:

    • Hide

    • Show

    • Round brackets

    • Square brackets

Result

Accidentals on the selected harmonics are shown, hidden, or shown in round or square brackets.

Note

  • Hiding accidentals does not affect the pitch of notes in playback.

  • If you are hiding/showing many accidentals, we recommend that you consider changing the accidental duration rule.

  • You can assign key commands for different accidental hiding, showing, and parenthesizing commands on the Key Commands page in Preferences.

After Completing This Task

You can also hide/show or parenthesize accidentals on the normal noteheads that indicate the stopped pitch for artificial harmonics shown using diamond noteheads.
