I'm trying to improve a score that my colleagues find confusing since
they mis-interpret A(b5) as Ab5; that is, when cis1:5- is transposed
to A(b5).
The transpose (cis to a) is not applied in the example below and that
may further complicate things as I'm not sure whether parentheses
could/should be added before the transpose or after. So, this may
actually be two problems.
So I'm seeking a way to put parentheses around the (b5) superscript.
I found this related snippet in the docs but can't seem to apply it
usefully to this situation.
Suggestions would be much appreciated.
Does this help?
