I need to bracket my naturals in one or two occasions but when I select it from the keypad it wraps the bracket around BOTH the natural symbol and the note. Can I bracket the sharps and flats independently?

These are not the brackets you are looking for. The ones you want are on the 5th keypad layoout.

To which the Imperial Stormtroopers replied "These aren't the brackets we're looking for." and let Luke and Obi Wan continue using Sibelius to write more of the Star Wars soundtrack! :D
