Yes, this is a job for scheme, because parenthesize is a music function, and
it needs to have music following it.  That's why you can't move it into an
identifier.


The custosNote example in Section 6.1.2 of the Notation Reference should
give you the pattern you need to use to define a music function
harmonicParenthesize (or hP for short, if you desire).

If you can't figure it out, ask a question or two.
