Yes! Thank you Peter (and Urs), I think now it's clear Lilypond use a postfix syntax. To apply a function 'f' to the note 'a' the lilypond syntax is a \f and not viceversa. Because the open parenthese is like a function (a function that marks the first item) it must be written as for all the

Thank you, this works! It does look a little clunky. I saw this, which gets the parentheses but doesn’t include the first non-parenthesized item. Can these two items be combined?

OK. Fuller answer. 1) It's easy to create a snippet in the LSR: it was designed for this purpose. It's harder to update the main LilyPond package. 2) If the main package were updated, then we would also need to update the documentation. 3) All the work on LilyPond is done by volunteers who
