There was a diskussion thread about parenthesis for Notehead.
Rally usefull could be to have parenthesis for playing techniques (like they are there for dynamics),
it happens quite often that one needs a (pizz.) as a remider or such things.
The “alternative Text” in properies works now more like suffix, thus not working als a workaround.

I’m pretty sure that the “alternative text” is still unfinished - it’s supposed to work as an alternative continuation type (instead of “sim.”) but still hasn’t fully been implemented.
Have you investigated going into the Playing Techniques editor, creating a “new from selection” playing technique based on “pizz.”, but changing the text to (pizz.) and the popover text to pizz( ?
That works fine here…
