Having suffered also from parentheses that didn't match the size of the parenthesized object (for me, parenthesized chordmode symbols), and having seen no follow-up to this thread, I am pleased to have found this gem in the docs today. I'm sure it's been there all along, but thank you, documentation team! http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/snippets/expressive-marks \relative c' { c2-\parenthesize -> \override ParenthesesItem #'padding = #0.1 \override ParenthesesItem #'font-size = #-4 % <-- that one! <d \parenthesize f a>2 } or \chordmode { \override ParenthesesItem #'font-size = #1 \parenthesize a1:m7 } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
