Hi James,

I understand the idea but I thing you missunderstand the X-extent effect.
If I follow you, you'd rather extent the note head.
So here it goes :

\version "2.19.15"

parenWider = {
  \once\override NoteHead.X-extent = #'(-1.5 . 1.3)
  \once\override Accidental.X-extent = #'(1.5 . 0)
  \once\override Accidental.extra-offset = #'(1.5 . 0)
}

\score {
  \new Staff { \parenWider \parenthesize fis'4 }
}

HTH,
Pierre
