I've attached a file which I hope will be helpful.  Unfortunately, I needed to 
duplicate rather a lot of code from scm\stencil.scm, since I make use of 
functions which aren't public.

I've defined a command \parenthesizeSlur which takes a number of values.  These 
are: half-thickness (controlling the line-thickness), width, angularity (larger 
values make the parentheses less rounded), and padding (controls the horizontal 
distance of the parentheses from the slur).

I've defined (and used) \myParSlur with some reasonable values for the above 
parameters.

To raise the slurs up a bit, I used \shape which is new to 2.16.  You could 
also override 'positions.

Let me know if this works for you or you need any further explanation.

-David
