Hi all,

I'm reproducing a Christmas carol from a book I have, mostly in order to
transpose it.  The composer and poet are both long dead, though, so the
piece is public domain afaik.

Some of the lines of lyrics have a leading note (a \partial 4), but some of
them have no leading note.  In the book, these notes are enclosed in
parentheses.  The piece is in four voices (SATB) so the notes for each of
these locations are naturally in different places in the ly file.  But how
do I put parentheses around these (only sometimes-used) notes?

Also, what about dotted slurs for when one or more syllables are sung to a
pair of notes?

I've searched the manual for these two items, but can't seem to locate
them.  (A pointer to the section would be helpful.)

Thanks, and have a Merry Christmas,

Fr. Gordon Gilbert+
