Thanks. And now I see why it's so hard to produce "normalsized" cautionary accidentals: the parentheses used come in pairs in the musix fonts and are either too close together or too far apart for a normalsized accidental. I suppose the "separate" left and right parentheses in character positions 3 and 4 could be used but that would involve significant re-coding.
