Don't know if this suggestion is useful, but other possible ways include
changing the size, shape, or colour of the notes in question. (I'm aware
that colour may not be an option in all cases, but it's there and
relatively easy to do.) These possibilities are probably not as good as
brackets, but they have the advantage of being easy to do from within
Lilypond.
