sure, Cautionary Accidental, Reminder Accidental are the relevant commands under Notes/Rests->Edit Note there is also Ficta Accidental there too. > IOW: no > parentheses unless I tweak the lilypond code?

Yes that's right. To do a non-printing staff now you need to edit the score layout (that is create a custom score layout that omits the staff) > Not sure if that's lilypond's fault, > or denemo's, or no one's ;-) just something lost in translation > (conversion). > My lilypond versions, by the way, are 2.16.1 and 2.17.7 > > * I'm sure version 1.0.9 has lots of improvements, and exciting new features, > but it's not an instant, intuitive re-adjustment.
