Hi David, thanks for that. It's not what I'm looking for, but might be
useful for the stuff Marc is working on.

What I'm looking for is a way to indicate that a whole chord or sequence
of chords is enclosed in parentheses, indicating them to be optional or
only sometimes used. So I have added _leftParen and _rightParen flags to
the Harmony object to indicate that a "( " and/or " )" should be added
before or after the chord respectively. A single optional chord would
have both. A sequence would have left on the first and right on the last.

Cheers
Tony
