In the documentation there is a tip how to create parenthesized dynamics: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/New-dynamic-marks#New-dynamic-marks
This seems to work fine, except for one very important issue: \dynamicUp or \dynamicDown does not work on them! See e.g. the attached sample file. For vocal voices, the dynamics are typically written above the staff, while for instrumental voices, they are below the staff. Now, I have a piece with some colla parte instruments (e.g. Violin 1 plays exactly the same as Soprano), so I have the V1 / S music only once and use the same variable in both the violin score and the vocal score, adjusting the dynamics by \dynamicUp or \dynamicDown. For this reason, I really need parenthesized dynamics, that behave like dynamics and not like markup! Thanks already in advance!
