This should get you what you want:
%%%
\version "2.24.0"
startParenthesis = {
\once \override Parentheses.stencils = #(lambda (grob)
(let ((par-list
(parentheses-interface::calc-parenthesis-stencils grob)))
(list (car par-list) point-stencil )))
}
endParenthesis = {
\once \override Parentheses.stencils = #(lambda (grob)
(let ((par-list
(parentheses-interface::calc-parenthesis-stencils grob)))
(list point-stencil (cadr par-list))))
}
% Example:
% {
% \override Parentheses.font-size = #5
% \startParenthesis <c \parenthesize c'>
% d' e' f'
% \endParenthesis \parenthesize g'
% }
%%%

I understand the \parenthesize command applies to a single note.
I would like the parentheses to wrap more tan just one note. Something
like \parenthesize {c4 d e f} to have a parentheses right before c and
after f. This would be useful writing a jazz score to include an
optional anacrouse in the last measure.
I would also be interested in doing the same thing with the chords
written above the staff.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks
