Parentheses around notes
The handbook does not say how to add parentheses ( ) round notes. The answer is to add them from the symbols menu (shortcut Z) or the Staff Edit menu (so David says. I'm not sure how that works).

What do you mean by the Staff Edit menu?
In reply to What do you mean by the Staff by David Bolton
Sorry, David, I should have checked your words: Staff Text.
In reply to errata by cwhysall
Oh yes. I meant Create > Text > Staff Text and use the computer keyboard to type in the parentheses.
Here's the original thread: http://musescore.org/en/node/7448
Thank you! This is exaclty what I am looking for. How did you do to move the parenthesis around the noteheads afterwards? Both when I add "staff text" and "system text" the program does not allow me to then place those parentheses down in the system, but moves it up over it again. Any advice?

Hello again! I kept on looking, and I now found a great tool in the toolbox "noteheads" that does exactly this! :)

I have been on this forum learning MuseScore. I have seen a lot of your comments. It's unfortunate that you are a moderator. I would not want you as my teacher.

oh dude I know, I see this guy being rude to newbies on almost every post I've ever seen, he must be the guy running most of the accounts on r/musictheory too cuz it gets really condescending over there too, it's a shame so many people are afraid to get into music theory and composition and most of the people on the internet they can rely on for help are also going to make them feel like idiots instead of respecting their hard work and curiosity

Sorry, I don't see his response as being in the slightest rude or condescending. He pointed out that the issue the OP faced was no longer an issue because of the intervening time. Which has again intervened another five years from his comment. It's usually considered rude to resurrect threads that are 15 years old. So please stop it.

No need to apologize. You are as entitled to your opinion as the other posters are to theirs. I've never heard that it was rude to resurrect old treads, and given the important role the forum threads play in supplementing the documentation, I think they should be updated in an ongoing way.

That's wasn't actually an apology. "Sorry" can also be used as a sort of "excuse me" sound. (As in "Sorry, but you're wrong!" ... not tejjy, but bryceshamm)
It's certainly acceptable to resurrect old threads if you have something substantive to say, but this idiot resurrected this thread just to complain about someone's post from five years ago. Now, that's rude!

The "Add parentheses to element" works great. But, once the parentheses are there, how do you remove them? The only thing I have found is to delete the note and recreate it.

Select the parens (one by one), press Del.
In drums parenthesis indicates ghost notes (to be played at lower volume). I am using now version 4 and was hoping this would happen automatically. Is there a way to set globally volume for notes in parenthesis. At the moment I am having to select one by one and change the velocity.
Thanks
