John,
Actually, since the thread of this message, apparently, out of context, my intention
was not clear.
I'm not looking to include an accidental in parentheses, but an actual note. This is
necessary for pieces with lyrics and multiple verses, when certain notes are omitted
or added in the vocal line depending on which verse is being sung.
(However, your suggested notation for optional accidentals is indeed a good idea).
