Hi Gianluca, The method of putting parenthesis around slurs and ties.. is old fashioned...
The most acceptable way is to either used a dotted slur or tie or dashed slur or tie.. Lilypond can do these already... \tieDotted \tieDashed and don't forget to use \tieSolid to go back to normal ties. again it's the same with slurs \slurDashed, \slurDotted, \slurSolid to go back to normal slurs... As for the other examples.. be careful when using editoral marks as this is where copyright comes into play. These are the marks that make it a derived work and an editor could hold copyright for that particular version of a piece. Also with editoral marks make sure that they are in style with the period... editors in the late 19th early - 20th century were in a habit of placing performance marks everywhere in both Baroque and Classical scores. These performance marks are usually out of style with current research into baroque and classical and early romantic period, performance practice. Unless you have a good reason for adding the editoral marks I would leave them out .. i.e. make an Urtext version.

I'm trying to copy with Lilypond a nice sheet of music showing many editorial parenthesis around slurs, ties and hairpins. In the attachments, you can see two examples of what I'm talking about. Is there anyone who knows a general way to reproduce these expressions, hopefully without dismantling Lilypond bit by bit? :P I've already tried searching the archive and the regression-tests and tips-and-tricks, but with no results, except for that dirty trick to make dynamics surrounded by parenthesis ( which is a very very very dirty trick because such dynamics are actually markups and so they will never align properly with normal dynamics, but with changing all the default dynamic padding properties etc etc... ) Thank you to everyone.
