Well, it seems I didn't K F enough! LilyPond _does_ have
support for parenthesizing notes - the \parenthesize
command. See section 8.5.8 Parentheses. The function works
only within chord brackets, but this is not a serious
restriction. (I missed it because I searched for brackets
rather than parenthesize).
For the record, here is the corrected version of the example
with different melismata in the two verses which I posted
earlier, with a correctly parenthesized leading note:
<<
\relative g' {
\clef treble
\key g \major
\time 4/4
\slurDashed
< \parenthesize g >4 g2 d4( g) a2( d,)
}
\addlyrics {
\set ignoreMelismata = ##t
O come, all ye faith -- ful,
}
\addlyrics {
\set ignoreMelismata = ##t
\skip 4 God of __ \skip 4 God, __ \skip 2
}
