Hi,
can you tell me what the \parenthesize function uses to print the
parentheses?
There are paren glyphs in the accidentals section, are they used for
that purpose?
And does this mean that I can only resize parentheses proportionally (by
using a different font size)? Or is there a possibility 'stretch' them
when the surrounded object is taller?
Thanks for any input
Urs
Having suffered also from parentheses that didn't match the size
of the parenthesized object (for me, parenthesized chordmode
symbols), and having seen no follow-up to this thread, I am
pleased to have found this gem in the docs today.
I'm sure it's been there all along, but thank you, documentation team!

\relative c' {
c2-\parenthesize ->
\override ParenthesesItem #'padding = #0.1
\override ParenthesesItem #'font-size = #-4 % <-- that one!
<d \parenthesize f a>2
}
or
\chordmode {
\override ParenthesesItem #'font-size = #1
\parenthesize a1:m7
}
