That couldn't have worked, because you didn't specify what object do
you want to apply this override to.

Almost correct! You missed one hash - it should be ##f.
Strangely, \translate doesn't want to work properly here. Fortunately
you can use offsets:
{
\once \override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = ##f
\once \override TextScript #'X-offset = #'-0.7
\once \override TextScript #'Y-offset = #'-1.7
g'^"("
}
(of course these values must be found by trial and error).
Hope this helps,
Janek
PS i suggest that you make your code examples smaller. For example
this would be easier to deal with (and harder to make a mistake):
\version "2.12.2"
{
% \override outside-staff-priority = ##f % I tried it here first...
\once \override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = #f % this
was my second try...
g'^\markup { \translate #'(-1 . -7) { "(" } }
}

It certainly is possible, but may not be as straightforward as we
would like it to be.
You can add parentheses indiviadually (as a markup) and move them to
appropriate places.
Just off the top of my head, i suppose that it might be useful to set
outside-staff-priority to ##f and play with markup aligning in order
to do this in a quite elegant way.
Hope this helps,

The ties don't work because the expressions above don't have equal
lengths. In other words,
{b2\rest g'8 a c4~}
is 8 quavers long, while
{s2 8[ ] ~}
is 7 quavers long.
Therefore, when you combine them using << \\ >>, you get something
strange in result - essentially, there is a hole in lower voice music.
That's why LilyPond doesn't know what to do with ties that appear
there.
I strongly recommend that you follow Marc's suggestion of writing
these two voices separately, especially because it will correspond to
the logical structure of the music.
You can read more about voices here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices
Don't hesitate to ask when you have any doubts.
Hope this helps,
Janek

parenthesize groups of notes
I am using lilypond 2.12.2
I see how easy it is to parenthesize one note at a time using
\parenthesize
I tried to parenthesize a whole group of notes by enclosing them in braces, as:
\parenthesize { a b c }
but no parentheses appear.
Is it possible to create something like
()
in lilypond?
Thank you!

undesired figured bass stretching
Hi,
When forcing the staves spacing using
\overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
#'line-break-system-details = #'((alignment-distances . (...)))
figured bass digits are stretched, whereas they shall be tightly stacked.
I can't find how to avoid this strange behavior. Is there a way?
Here is a minimal example:
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
#'line-break-system-details #'((alignment-distances . (15)))
c'4
}
\new Staff <<
{ d'4 }

Yup! If you don't like the annotations right on the grobs and would rather
have them overhead, this allows you to do :
\override FootnoteItem #'annotation-line = ##f
\footnoteGrob #'NoteHead #'(0 . 0) \markup { } \markup { \super * foo } a4^"*"

Re: Repeat alternative includes a tempo change
Mike:
Thank you very much for your helpful advice. My problem is really how to code
the final verse of my four-verse 'learning' melody. I've diagrammed below how
I think I'll have to code the melody, but I'm wondering if there's a different,
less complicated, way to go about doing it.
\melody
%% ( for verses 1, 2, 3 only )
stanza1, stanza 2
\repeat volta 3
{ stanza 3, stanza 4 }
%% ( then continue notation for final verse 4 )
stanza 1, stanza 2%% (first two stanzas of verse 4 are played at same
tempo as for verses 1, 2, 3 )
\repeat volta
{ \markup tempo = "slower, sadly"
stanza 3, stanza 4
}
\alternative%% ( use for the octave upbeat on final note of melody )
{ d'2~d2\fermata }
\bar " || "
In other words, it seems to me that I'll have to code a volta for three verses,
then another volta for the fourth verse, with an alternate ending for the last
notes of the final stanza.
Thank you again for taking the time to help me.
Very best regards,
Ken

I'm new to LilyPond (v2.12.3) and to music notation in general, so I'm just
a tad beyond the starting point on LilyPond's learning curve. I'm scratching
my head now as to how to write the repeats in my learning testfile,
"Podmoskovnye Vechera", (Moscow Nights). The melody has four verses, each
verse has two couplets (i.e., four stanzas per verse), with the second couplet
repeated in each of the four verses. The repeats for the first three verses
are identical, but the repeat for the final verse includes a tempo change
(slower, sadly) with an octave upbeat at the end. I'm only coding the melody
line for now; here's the code I've been using (time = 2/4):
\bar "|:"
\repeat volta 4%% notation shows repeat for verses 1,
2, 3, only
{
b4 cis4
e8 d8 a4~a8
e4 d8 \mbreak%% \mbreak defined in my '%% Definitions'
block
a'8. g16 bes4~bes4
c8 bes8
a4 g8 f8
}
\alternative%% notation shows repeat for verse 4
{
{a4 g8 f8 d2 }
{ d'2~d2\fermata }
}
\bar "||"
To get it right (volta showing verses 1 - 4, alternative showing verse 4
only) will I need to code the final couplet of verse 4 into \alternative? Or
is there a better, more professional way to do it?
Generally, alternative endings start on the first full measure during which a
repeated section diverges. It sounds like the solution would be to back the
beginning of the alternative up one measure so that the changed upbeat can be
part of the alternative.
