I need to put some chords in parenthesis as you can see in jazz scores.

Which is the fastest way to do that?

Unfortunately, you will have to create them as expressions (I suggest attaching them as note-attached expressions, so they won't spread out as much when you change the size of the measure) and manually place them (I suggest at 400% zoom, so you can get them placed correctly.) Assigning them to metatools will speed up the process considerably.

BTW, you didn't ask, but usually parenthesized chords are used in lead sheets to indicate a possible substitute chord at the discretion of the players. In an actual score of an arrangement or composition with separate parts for all the players, you would not use parenthesized chords, as all chords should be decided by the composer/arranger.
