Problem found when testing with the nightly build - MuseScoreNightly-2014-02-08-1156-1d54c0a.7z - on windows XP.

Steps to re-create.
1. Create a simple 1 bar score
2. Add a single note
3. Drag the parentheses from the Note Heads panel onto the note head
4. Export to MusicXml format.

It is great to see that we can now put parentheses around note heads - but we need to be able to correctly export this information to MusicXML.

Example :
<note default-x="49">
    <pitch>
        <step>G</step>
        <octave>4</octave>
    </pitch>
    <duration>32</duration>
    <voice>1</voice>
    <type>quarter</type>
    <stem>up</stem>
    <notehead parentheses="yes" />
</note>

See original discussion .

I'm not an expert, but yes, I think the current implementation representing a parenthesis is just two brackets together.

This should probably be addressed before dealing with MusicXML?

It was sort-of touched on here .

As I stated in the description, the implementation is already done - ie: this is already addressed in the last nightly build at least.
I do not see any further implementation in MuseScore needing to be done before attacking MusicXML export correctly.
