I've consistently just used parentheses, because in the repertory I'm working in, that is never used in the original sources. Of course, I only use that for cases where I know for a fact whether or not it's the correct accidental. For instance, it's quite common in 18th-century keyboard notation to put an accidental only on the top note of an octave, with the accidental assumed to apply to all octaves. In that case I hit P on the lower note. In cases where I don't know with certainty which accidental should be used, I put it above the note, not on it, using an articulation. I can't think of a situation these options don't cover. -- David W.
