Hi Dirck,
See Harm's :
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-05/msg00371.html
E.g.:
\version "2.24.3"
#(define (parenthesize-dot parentheses-item)
(let* ((dot (ly:grob-object (ly:grob-parent parentheses-item Y) 'dot)))
(if (not (null? dot))
(begin
(set! (ly:grob-object parentheses-item 'elements) '())
(ly:grob-set-property! parentheses-item 'padding 0)
(ly:pointer-group-interface::add-grob parentheses-item 'elements
dot)
(ly:stencil-translate-axis
(parentheses-interface::print parentheses-item) 0 X))
(parentheses-interface::print parentheses-item))))
parenthesizeDot =
\tweak Parentheses.stencil #(lambda (grob) (parenthesize-dot grob))
\parenthesize \etc
{
\stemDown <e' \parenthesizeDot e''>4.
}
HTH, cheers,
Pierre
