Not trying to keep you from learning how to fish, but… ;)
Here’s one example that I believe works as you want:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.11"
#(define-public (bracket-stencils grob)
(let ((lp (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup #:fontsize 8 #:vcenter
#:center-align #:bold "[")))
(rp (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup #:fontsize 8 #:vcenter
#:center-align #:bold "]"))))
(list lp rp)))
bracketize =
#(define-music-function (bMusic) (ly:music?)
#{
\new CueVoice {
\shiftOff \stemUp
\tweak Parentheses.stencils #bracket-stencils
\parenthesize $bMusic
}
#})
\new Staff <<
b, \bracketize b'
>>
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
