The following Scheme procedure works for
chord names. It might work for other objects
which are printed with markup, but I haven't tried.
Paster the procedure at the head of your .ly file
and use the override before any chord to place
brackets round the name.

#(define (addBrackets grob)
"Place brackets round a text object."
(let* (
; Get current text
(currentText (ly:grob-property grob 'text))
(bracketedText (markup "(" currentText ")")))
; Store the bracketed text back
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text bracketedText)
)
; and print it
(ly:text-interface::print grob))
