I am looking a bit on the bracketed-accidental issue (which could be
my only conditio sine qua non with my publisher).
It seems that the parenthesis are hard-coded in accidental.cc (line 35
and 37, accidentals.leftparen and accidentals.rightparen). Would it be
possible to add an option to select parenthesis/bracket and change the
glyph? or in alternative add a callback to I can hook a custom bracket
stencil? what do you think?
Thanks,
Rodolfo
