I'm not sure why, but \parenthesize seems to require angle brackets, like  
this:

{c d <\parenthesize e> f g}

If you had a chord within the angle brackets, the \parenthesize would  
still apply only to the immediately following note, not to the whold  
chord, thus:

{c d <\parenthesize e g> f g}
% only the e is parenthesized
