Description with steps to reproduce
Accidentals themselves are linked and the same between scores and parts. The parentheses appear to not be.
The issue is with the plugin handling both linked and unlinked items.
It is not possible to use the plugin to add courtesy accidentals with parentheses in both score and parts at the same time, even as multiple opperations.
Couple points possibly related to the issue/starting point of solution.
Observe: The tool will only add parentheses to "new" accidentals, i.e. ones added that operation.
Observe: only possible to add with parentheses using "Add Accidentals" in "Configure". "Add" doesn't seem to remember this setting from when "Configure" was last used..
When the tool adds the accidentals on the score it includes the style setting of parentheses. However as the accidental itself is linked, it also shows up on the opposite location (part). But it does so without the style setting of parentheses.
From the observations above, in order to use the tool to add the accidentals with parentheses they must be added during that operation. This means that to use the tool on the opposite (part) to add the parentheses, the first step is to remove all courtesy accidentals. Since this is linked it also takes them away from the original location (score). Then add them back with parentheses checked. Now you have the parentheses in the parts, but without them in the score...
Now repeat steps 1 & 2 forever.
I go with the parentheses in the parts as that to me is more important to be clear as possible.
Also, a part that is opened the first time will take the courtesy accidental with parentheses as shown on the score. So if possible finish all in the score and run the plugin prior to opening the parts for the first time.
Best solution (linked): the plugin needs to be able to set the style for parentheses in both score and parts at the same time.
Usable solution (unlinked): be able to be used to change the style to include parentheses on courtesy accidentals already in the score/part. (not just new ones)
