In transcribing some cello exercises, I need to show a slashed grace

between first and third position on the same string, so it emphasizes
the intermediate "target" position, with the intent that the grace note
gets eliminated as the shift gets smoother. The following gives me all
I need except for the parentheses. I'm a bit foggy from a virus, and I
cannot find the magic incantation which will show both the grace note
and the parenthesis. Using 2.17.10, by the way.
%<%<%<%<%<%<%<%<%<

Any pointers to TFM or LSR gratefully received!
not sure you can find it in TFM but this awful construction seems to do what
you're looking for (note that the tweak comes /before / the grace note):
{
e'2-1
\parenthesize
-\tweak ParenthesesItem.color #green
-\tweak ParenthesesItem.font-size #5
-1 \slashedGrace gs8
a2 -2
}
personally I prefer this solution where you can write the tweaks after the
grace note (as usual) despite the fact that you have to put it in a chord:
{
e'2-1 \slashedGrace {
< gs
-\tweak ParenthesesItem.color #green
-\tweak ParenthesesItem.font-size #5
\parenthesize -1
>8
}
a2 -2
}

Thanks for such a quick reply, Eluze! I regret that I couldn't get your
code to work, as it complains about "unexpected postevent" after the
\parenthesize. Also, I apologise for not including the closing ) of a
slur in my original example, so the e to a was to be slurred, with the
grace note as an intermediate step. Olivier Biot also suggested a
solution which I managed to adapt, but I can see I have a lot of
studying to do on the subject of tweaks and overrides!
Thanks again for your help, Eluze, and for all you contribute to the
Lilypond community!
Cheers,
Colin
