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.
