Hello Philip,
you might use markup-lists. In markups, the parens are typeset:
--snip--
\version "2.15.40"
% should run in 2.14
% define a music-function, to convert a markup-list to a list of LyricEvents
lyricmarkup = #(define-music-function (parser location mup)(markup-list?)
(make-music 'SequentialMusic
'elements (map
(lambda (syl) (make-music 'LyricEvent
'text syl
'duration (ly:make-duration 2 0 1 1)))
mup)))
% a test
<<
\new Staff \new Voice = "mel" \relative c'' {
c4. b8 a4 cis
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel"
\lyricmode {
\lyricmarkup \markuplist { (oo bi doo) }
% override can't be inside markuplist!
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
didididididididididi
}
>>
--snip--
But you can't use lyric-overrides inside the markup-list - so if you use
a lot them, this will not be helpful :-(
... and using \lyricmarkup \markuplist {} is a lot to type ...
But still, you might try it ;-)
Cheers, Jan-Peter

Dear fellow-users,
I'm working on a vocal piece in which some lyrics are in parentheses, but
the opening parentheses don't appear in the output PDF file. The closing
parentheses are fine. By way of example, here's a couple of bars from the
piece:
================
\version "2.14.2"
\relative c'
<<
\new Voice = "melody" {
\time 12/8
fis2.( f |
a4.) a4 g8 g4 f8 f4. |
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
blue __ (oo -- by -- doo -- by -- doo)
}
================
I have looked but haven't succeeded in finding a reference to this in the
documentation or on the forum, but at this stage I don't feel confident in
reporting it as a bug. Any advice would be appreciated. Apologies, as usual,
if I've missed an existing solution or explanation.
BTW, I know that I can solve the problem with a work-around, e.g. enclosing
the syllable concerned in quotes as "(oo" produces the correct result, but
it's not a very elegant solution, especially for repeated instances.
Cheers,
Philip
