Parethesized accidentals not played back: bug or by design?
Hi,
when an accidental is parenthesized, its note is played back as natural. Is it a bug or is it intended to work this way? (As I use accidentals in parentheses to indicate accidentals missing in the source but musically needed, I would expect them to be played back.)
I attach a small excerpt: the A in the second measure is intended to be flat, but is played back as natural.
BTW: I obtain the parenthesized accidental by first adding the accidental, selecting it and then double-clicking the parenthesis symbol in the accidental palette: is it the right way?
Thanks,
M.

I forgot to say this applies to rev. 2908, but it is there since 0.9.6 beta 2.

I filed the bug in the issue tracker:
#5091: Parenthesized accidentals not played back (0.9.6 regression)
Note: the example you give should actually be a normal accidental (without the parenthesis) since an accidental doesn't carry over from the previous measure.
Thank you for filing the bug; I was not sure.
Note: I know the flat in the example would usually be "a normal accidental", but this example is (or is supposed to be) an edition from a source, the source was lacking the flat in the second bar and the parentheses are there to indicate this fact.
