Here are the brackets (I can't help with the stacking, though):


#(define (addBrackets grob)
 "Place brackets round a text object."
 (let* (
        ; Get current text
     (currentText (ly:grob-property grob 'text))
     (bracketedText (markup "(" currentText ")")))
   ; Store the bracketed text back
   (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text bracketedText)
 )
 ; and print it
 (ly:text-interface::print grob))

opC = \once \override ChordNames.ChordName #'stencil = #addBrackets

(Thanks to the helpful contributor who wrote that code for me!)


So you can say \opC des:7
