Thanks Aaron. Looking at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/visibility-of-objects#index-_005comit I would have expected the syntax to be \new NullVoice \with { \omit Score.ParenthesesItem } { \music } and I would have expected that to eliminate the parentheses in _all_ voices – but only the NullVoice is affected. This is of course wonderful for my case, but I don’t understand why it works that way.
I need to become less scared of the Internals Reference.

The default location for the Parenthesis_engraver is the Score context, that is why removing it from the NullVoice has no effect. The simplest option I see is this: %%%% \version "2.18.2" music = \relative { c' e \parenthesize g c } \score { \new Staff << \new Voice { \music } \new NullVoice \with { \omit ParenthesesItem } { \music } >> } %%%% -- Aaron Hill
