Circles over stems - feature I've never seen before
I was editing a score this morning, and then I noticed some circles had appeared round the stems of a timpani part. I've never seen anything like that before.
I'm not sure if that means anything to percussionists, but I can copy the notes to other parts, so probably not a symbol specific to timpani.
I've never seen anything like this before. Does anyone know what these mean and how did I create those?

This is a symbol (from the "Symbols" palette, 'Z' shortcut).
What are they doing here? Someone, obligatorily, have added them on the score.
You can remove them: right-click one -> Select -> All similar elements -> Delete

Might stem from the Accordion palette too

Thanks to both of you. Looks like the timpani thing was a red herring. Probably crept in if I was trying to undo something (cmd-Z or ctrl-Z) and the Z shortcut got picked up. Looks as though the accordion is a more relevant instrument - though might not be the only one.
I also liked the tip about the multiple delete (Select similar ...) feature - I didn't know about that before.
However, one further peculiarity emeres - I can't get the Symbol Palette up on the additional palette list, though I can see it on the Master Palette. Perhaps some of these issues are due to macOS..

Pressing z is supposed to bring up the master palette with symbols selected and shift+F9 brings it up in the last view. The list at the left is the list of palettes. Click one one you'll see the extra items for that palette.
