Parentheses around contents of a bar

Hi — How can this be rendered in Dorico 6 (Mac)

Hi @newdansom, you can create the 2 parenthesis as staff text (Shift+X), then in the text editor right click and choose Insert Music text, choose a left and right parenthesis from the many glyphs (I used time signature parenthesis), adjust the font size, then in Engrave mode in the properties panel deactivate avoid collision, and adjust the position as desired:

Result:

Dorico file example:

Thank you! I will try that momentarily.

Thank you again. Your directions were very clear and helpful.
